Volunteering at the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank is one of the best volunteer opportunities in LA. By donating a few hours of your time, you’ll help us provide food for the 2 million people in Los Angeles County who face food insecurity.
Volunteers help us by boxing, sorting and gleaning food that is later distributed through our network of more than 700 agency partners to our neighbors in need.
We offer safely in-person and virtual opportunities, for individuals and groups, five days a week - Tuesday to Saturday.
On behalf of the Food Bank, we thank our volunteers who donated their time helping on-site at the Food Bank and at food distribution sites. Hide full description
