The Food Bank of Western Massachusetts is looking to fill food sorting shifts (ages 16+) Monday – Thursday, 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. at The Food Bank in Hatfield, MA.

Volunteers need to complete a virtual Volunteer Orientation first: https://www.foodbankwma.org/get-involved/volunteer-opportunities/

Once you’ve completed both short videos, you can sign up for a shift (included in the link above).
 

The Survival Center can always use volunteers. The tasks given to the volunteers varies but often they assist with sorting clothing and putting new items out on the floor at the thrift store. If you are interested in volunteering for the Survival Center, please drop by the center during business hours and fill out a volunteer application. For more information on volunteer opportunities, call the Survival Center at (413) 863-9549.

The Franklin County Community Meals Program operates three meal sites and two food pantries in Franklin County.

Each week, volunteers assist in stocking pantry shelves and in distributing bags and boxes of fresh vegetables, fresh fruit, and pantry staples at two Franklin County food pantries: one on the campus of GCC and one in the center of Orange.

In addition, more than 40 volunteer groups take turns preparing and serving free meals at meal sites in Greenfield, Orange, and Turners Falls.

The Stone Soup Café is a pay-what-you-can gourmet hot luncheon served by volunteers every Saturday afternoon in the All Souls Church in downtown Greenfield. They are looking for volunteers to help make and deliver meals. Click here to find out more about volunteering and to sign up for volunteer shifts.

Drivers needed immediately for:

Book delivery for the early reading program to help deliver books to nine sites located in Greenfield, Shelburne Falls, Turners Falls, and Charlemont. Need to deliver before the holiday break, and also for monthly deliveries.

Diaper delivery for the diaper bank. We recently expanded the bank to serve Hampshire County, but the diapers are stored in Greenfield and need to be transported to the United Way in Hampshire County or directly to the agencies. A large car would be needed to assist with this. 

For more information or to sign up, please contact Cheyanne Gracia, operations coordinator at the United Way of Franklin County, at cgracia@uw-fc.org.
