Family Volunteering
Volunteering at Utah Food Bank with your family is a great way to spend quality time together while serving others.
Are you looking for a meaningful way to spend time with your family while giving back? Join us for a Family Volunteer Shift at Utah Food Bank! These special shifts are designed specifically to allow for younger volunteers (ages 6-11) and their adult guardians.
Family shifts fill up quickly—often two months in advance—so be sure to sign up early. For specific times and availability, please complete our Volunteer Interest Form using the SIGN UP link above.
