Volunteers play a crucial work in our efforts to alleviate hunger in the Inland Empire! Come join us for just a few hours  and together, let's feed the IE!

 

In response to the evolving COVID-19 pandemic and our need to keep staff, partners, and community members safe, we have limited the number of on-site warehouse volunteers for each volunteer shift. Other volunteer opportunities include Field Distribution Deliveries,  Drive-Thru Distribution Event Volunteers, and Virtual Volunteers.

REQUIREMENTS

  • Minors must have a release form signed by a parent or guardian upon registration on your first shift

  • Parent or guardian must sign a separate one for themselves

  • Minors must be accompanied by a parent, guardian, or chaperone during the entire shift

  • The minimum age is 12 years old

  • Register online. No walk-ins allowed

NOTE: We are NOT accepting court-order volunteers at this time.

VOLUNTEER EXPECTATIONS

  • Arrive at least 5 minutes before the start of your first shift.

  • Please do NOT enter or leave our building through the roll-up garage door entrances.

  • Be mindful of weather conditions. The temperature in the warehouse is similar to outside temperatures.

  • Wear jeans/pants, a t-shirt, and closed-toed shoes at all times.

  • Be prepared for occasional loud sounds. Staff operating machinery honk their horns to avoid potential collisions.

  • Personal items (backpacks, cellphones, purses, headphones, etc.) must be out of sight while volunteering.

  • FARSB is not responsible for any lost or stolen items.

  • Mobile devices and headphones are not permitted while volunteering.

  • Eating and drinking must take place outside only (unless it is water).

  • Running, horseplay, riding pallet jacks, and stepping on pallets are not permitted.

  • Volunteers are expected to assist with clean-up at the end of each shift.

  • If an accident or injury occurs, please report this to staff immediately.

CORPORATE TEAMS

We love having corporate teams join us in our volunteer center! Before you join us, consider the following:

  • Help us continue to share the great work your company does by providing us with a team-branded shirt! We are currently working on building a t-shirt display wall to highlight our awesome volunteer teams in our welcome center. Leave it with the volunteer staff upon arrival, and we'll take care of the rest!

  • Does your company provide corporate sponsorships? Consider sponsoring our volunteer center! Learn more about sponsorship opportunities for our volunteer center.

  • Does your company match your volunteer hours for donations? Let us know! Our volunteer team is happy to complete any needed documentation to ensure that we can make the most of your visit! 

VOLUNTEER LEAD PROGRAM

Our Volunteer Leads play an integral role in fulfilling our mission. Not only do they aid new volunteers in the warehouse, but they go through extensive health and safety training and get first dibs on special volunteer activities, including Kids Markets, Food Distributions, and our Annual Gala! 

Interested in becoming a Lead Volunteer, contact Evelen Ramirez at Eramirez@feedingamericaIE.org to get started!

VOLUNTEER MERCHANDISE

Looking for a way to rep your favorite local food bank? To show our appreciation for those who give, FARSB offers a few gratitude gifts for donations that exceed our suggested minimum donation amounts!

 

All monetary donations made in person at the value of $10 or more during a volunteer shift qualify for a sweet new piece of merch! Ask the FARSB staff during your next volunteer shift or contact the FARSB Volunteer Services Supervisor at (951) 396 -0009.

All proceeds go directly toward feeding our most vulnerable neighbors in the Inland Empire!
