School Community Service
The Food Bank welcomes volunteers seeking community service hours for school or other educational projects. Please read the instructions below.
- To sign up for a shift, all volunteers are required to create a Volunteer Portal account. Once you have created your account you may sign up for available shifts found on our volunteer calendar.
- Students age 11-15 are required to volunteer with an actively volunteering adult. Accompanying adults must use the "Sign up With a Team" button to register for a shift and add a child 11-15 as their team member.
- Due to our safety regulations, children ages 5-10 are only allowed to volunteer during our Family Food Sort Days.
- For safety reasons, children under age 5 are not allowed to volunteer.

Verifying Volunteer Service
If you are a registered volunteer, you may access and print your total volunteer hours via your online Volunteer Portal account.

- Letters verifying service may be requested only after completing all scheduled hours to fulfill your community service requirements.
- Volunteer service verifications requested on official letterhead may be requested by emailing volunteerhelpdesk@foodbankccs.org.
- Please allow up to 3 business days after you have submitted your email request for processing.
- Verification letters will be emailed as a pdf. If you need to pick up a hard copy of your letter, email the Volunteer Help Desk at volunteerhelpdesk@foodbankccs.org or call 855-309-FOOD, option 4.
