Our Volunteer Team

Our volunteers are the heart of the Sequim Food Bank.

Our volunteer crew numbers more than sixty adults and teenagers. Together this team accomplishes the work of more than five full-time employees.

A rotating crew of about 15 volunteers serves visitors at our drive-thru distribution. These volunteer opportunities are great for those who enjoy interacting with others and who wish to serve on a team. Each shift lasts several hours and involves physical activity outside in all kinds of weather.

We also engage volunteers in a variety of independent projects ranging from counting inventory, to maintaining the yard and garden, to helping with special events. These types of volunteer opportunities are best for those who have specialized skills and/or who prefer to work independently.

Saturday distribution shifts are staffed by teen volunteers (with adult supervision). We provide a great place for students to perform their community service hours!


We have the following volunteer positions available:

Computer Whiz

We need someone to help with website design; with basic IT tasks; to advise us on technical issues as we grow.

Delivery Drivers

We need people to help deliver food to homebound individuals.

General Outside Support

On distribution days, we need folks to help distribute food, monitor cars, sort and prepare produce and check in visitors. These are physical jobs and require the ability to stand, bend, walk and lift for four hours in all kinds of weather. You’ll go home tired, but knowing you helped feed hundreds of people.
