Family Volunteering

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.

• Children Under 6: While we cannot accommodate children under 6 in our facilities for safety reasons, we offer alternative opportunities like food box delivery and decoration (availability varies).
• Ages 12 & Up: Families with older children (12+) are encouraged to participate in our regular volunteer opportunities, to allow shifts to accommodate groups with younger children.
