Hunger Task Force Hunger Task Force has a rich tradition of service as both an advocacy organization and a food bank. For more than 30 years we've been a voice for the hungry, promoting social sound policies that could end hunger in our community. In 1977, we responded to community need by opening a food bank to distribute free food to local charities that feed the hungry.
The dual objective - advocacy and food banking - makes us unique. Food
banking alone cannot end hunger: advocacy in the absence of charity is
less effective. Our expert and knowledgeable staff use them together to
more effectively combat hunger. And when we distribute food to the
pantries, homeless shelters and meal programs in our network, we do it
for free. Resources at these programs are already scarce - to charge
fees to obtain food would cripple their ability to serve the poor. And
if we got into the business of profiting from our work or even selling
food, we could never fully commit ourselves to ending hunger. Learn more about how we bring food into the community. There
are a variety of volunteer opportunities for individual volunteers (age
12+) and volunteer groups to fit your interests and time frame. Download
our volunteer brochure for position descriptions and pictures of
volunteer opportunities. Hunger Task Force does accept community
service volunteers for individuals age 18+ (pre-arranged university service learning and court ordered service) .
