VOLUNTEER ORIENTATIONS ON HOLD FOR SPRING 2026!
Following the SNAP delay in November 2026, we were incredibly grateful for the outpouring of volunteer support from our community. We are actively onboarding everyone who reached out. While we do this, volunteer orientations are paused for Spring 2026.
If you’re interested in volunteering, please stay tuned! In the meantime, you can support our mission by:
- Hosting a food drive
- Creating a custom fundraiser
- Donating to Second Glance
- Sign-up to volunteer at special events like Empty Bowl on May 7 and Stamp Out Hunger on May 9 on VolunteerHub — COMING SOON)
Thank you for being part of this caring community.
Together, we are Feeding People. Changing Lives.
