How to get involved…

A few other things to know…

Donations: While donations are not required to pack at this session, we humbly request them. Each volunteer packs about $50 worth of food and FMSC receives no government support. We can only send meals as we have funding. Nearly everyone is able to contribute something, but we leave the amount up to you. Many groups and individuals make advance fundraising a fun part of their service project. As you're willing and able, you may donate on the day you volunteer (by cash, check or credit card), or online before or after you pack.

At Feed My Starving Children, our mission is to feed all of God's starving children around the world who are hungry in both body and in spirit. But we cannot do this without your help. Will you join us? 

You will pack dry meals called "MannaPack Rice" which is made of four essential ingredients: rice, soy, vegetables, and vitamins.

We REQUIRE that you make a reservation on our website: https://www.fmsc.org/get-involved/volunteer before you come to pack. On this website link, you will find:

*Available days and times (Note: Times differ based on location)

We look forward to having you pack with us soon.

ENTER DOOR #1 

Are you looking for a workplace volunteer opportunity that makes a huge impact on your community, is easy to implement and manage, and is something employees can do over the lunch hour? If so, delivering meals is the perfect volunteer opportunity for you and your co-workers!

It only takes a lunch hour to deliver meals to eight to 10 people in need. How’s that for a power lunch? Companies of all sizes across the Twin Cities have discovered Meals on Wheels as the perfect volunteer opportunity for their employees.

Why does it work?

• Volunteers deliver meals once a month, once a week, or on a custom schedule depending on the team size,

• Meals are delivered during the employees’ lunch hour with a co-worker or individually.

• Typically, no one employee is out of the office for more than 1 hour a month.

• As a volunteer experience, this allows for great corporate social responsibility with minimal cost.

What are the benefits?

• Builds exceptional employee morale, creates better employee communication, and promotes team building.

• Allows busy people to give back to the community without taking away evening and weekend time with their families.

• Companies are seen in the community as a partner to Meals on Wheels, a trusted and well-known organization

What are companies saying about the experience?

Daniel O’Keefe, Executive Vice President for Benfield, Inc. says, “At the expense of a few minutes of weekly contact, I have provided companionship and friendship to an elderly person who might otherwise feel much more alone than she does. In return, I have experienced a friendship with a very remarkable woman. For me, it’s a very great return for a very small price.” 

WORKPLACE DELIVERY TEAMS: HOW DO THEY WORK?

What does a Workplace Delivery Team look like? A team consists of two or more individuals who agree to take turns delivering meals to seniors and people with disabilities. Volunteers can deliver in teams of two and may choose to do so once a month, or more often if it works for them. Teams can be easily scaled up to accommodate however many volunteers are interested.

How long does it take? The delivery takes about an hour. There are over 30 Meals on Wheels sites metro-wide, so the program site won’t be far away.

Who manages the process? Each Workplace Delivery Team picks one person to be the team leader. If needed, the position may be rotated within the group. This position may be filled with a community affairs employee or a volunteer.

What are the team leader’s responsibilities? The leader is responsible for maintaining a volunteer schedule and acts as the liaison between the company and the Meals on Wheels site. 

What are the benefits? Volunteers will help eight to 10 individuals in need of nutritious meals and a human connection. Just knowing you’ve made a difference in someone’s life can be a tremendous reward. It’s a wonderful way to feel coming back from your lunch break!

Longfellow/Seward Healthy Seniors (LSHS) and Minnehaha Food Shelf (located in the Minnehaha United Methodist Church, 3701 E. 31st St) joined forces back in August of 2020 with concern for older adults in the community who were unable to pick up their food shelf items in person due to the COVID pandemic.

LSHS continues to provide this food shelf delivery service to older adults in the greater Longfellow neighborhoods, and we are looking for  volunteers who can assist with this program on at least one Tuesday a month.

Volunteers will be asked to work alongside LSHS and Minnehaha Food Shelf staff to choose and pack needed items to be delivered.  The number of clients varies,  but there are no more than 2 delivery stops. This opportunity can be physically demanding, and there is some heavy lifting involved. However, we work as a team to lighten the load.

We are looking for volunteers who can commit to at least one Tuesday morning a month for 1.5 -2.0 hours. 

Mount Olivet Conference & Retreat Center (MOCRC) is committed to being a place of peace, wholeness, healing, and justice for all. These values guide how we relate to each other, our guests, and the land. From green initiatives to land and wildlife preservation, from warmly welcoming all people to promoting justice and equity, we seek the flourishing of all living beings.

We know that food plays a large role in nurturing and sustaining us in mind, body, and spirit. We take great pride in nourishing our guests during their stay, and volunteers are needed to help serve our full-meal services and clean up so that guests can experience gracious hospitality and personal rest during their time with us. If you enjoy meeting new people and helping everyone to feel at home, this is the perfect opportunity for you!

Weekends are a priority for us with meals served at 8am, 12pm, and 6pm. Shifts of 2-3 hours around these meals times are preferred. Training and support are always available.

*Must have valid license for a background check

Volunteers are needed Thursdays around 10:30 a.m., but the schedule is flexible. This position includes some moderate lifting of boxes

Description

Powered by Open Cupboard, Today’s Harvest depends on the dedication of volunteers like you to serve families in need. This role is perfect if you’re looking for a hands-on, active, and fun way to give back to your community!

Today’s Harvest offers a fresh approach to food access. By rescuing food that might otherwise go to waste, we provide neighbors with a changing selection of fresh produce, bread, meat, and other staples. Each visit gives households a 1–2 day supply of nutritious food, helping families stretch their budgets. Shopper's are welcome to visit everyday.

Open six days a week, Today’s Harvest is a bustling market that simply wouldn’t run without the support of our amazing volunteers. From stocking shelves to greeting guests, there’s always meaningful work to do—and every shift makes a real difference.

Description

Powered by Open Cupboard, Today’s Harvest depends on the dedication of volunteers like you to serve families in need. This role is perfect if you’re looking for a hands-on, active, and fun way to give back to your community!

Today’s Harvest offers a fresh approach to food access. By rescuing food that might otherwise go to waste, we provide neighbors with a changing selection of fresh produce, bread, meat, and other staples. Each visit gives households a 1–2 day supply of nutritious food, helping families stretch their budgets. Guests are welcome to visit as often as needed.

Open six days a week, Today’s Harvest is a bustling market that simply wouldn’t run without the support of our amazing volunteers. From stocking shelves to greeting guests, there’s always meaningful work to do—and every shift makes a real difference.

Food Sorting Overview

Food sorting plays a vital role in ensuring that families who visit Today’s Harvest receive healthy, safe, and high-quality food—all while helping reduce food waste in our community.

Food sorting is the process of organizing and preparing rescued food so it’s safe, fresh, and ready to share with our community. When food donations arrive—often from grocery stores, food rescue partners, or community drives—volunteers help sort through the items to check for quality and safety.

This includes:

Separating food into categories such as produce, bread, meat, dairy, and dry goods.

Removing items that are spoiled, damaged, or unsafe to distribute.

Organizing market-ready food so it can be stocked quickly and efficiently.

Composting, garbage or recycling items when appropriate.

Retail Rescue Drivers play a crucial role in providing healthy, non-perishable food to our clients. Drivers pick up large food shelf donations from local grocery stores. The food is no longer able to be sold at the grocery store for various reasons but still safe to consume. This role saves thousands of pounds of food from being in a landfill each day!

Position Summary

The Retail Rescue Drivers help gather and load up donations then transport them back to IOCP. Due to the size of these donations often, drivers use IOCP vans and trucks for pick-ups. This role requires heavy lifting. Volunteers should be able to lift 50+lbs. Sign up for a New Volunteer Meeting to learn more about this and other volunteer opportunities at iocp.volunteerhub.com

Why Volunteer with Us?

Merrick Community Services Meals on Wheels is looking for volunteer drivers to deliver meals over their lunch hour to seniors and individuals with disabilities in their community. If you are looking for a way to become more connected to your community and have meaningful interactions with the people in it, please sign up to become a meal delivery volunteer!

How can you help: Volunteer drivers deliver much more than a nutritious meal - they bring a smile and kind words, relieve isolation, and provide peace of mind for meal recipients and their care givers.

Qualifications: Volunteer one hour over your lunch time during the weekdays on a schedule that works for you. You must have your own transportation and license.

Where: Volunteers drive to the program site, pick up 8-10 meals stored in easy-to-carry thermal packs, and deliver them to residences using a route designed by the program. Merrick serves Meals on Wheels to both the St. Paul (Eastside) and Woodbury areas. Delivery coordinators will provide all the necessary resources to limit the spread of disease during your route and keep both you and meal recipients safe.**Delivering meals can fit into a work lunch break. It is also a great family-friendly volunteer opportunity so plan to bring your kids or grandkids!

Arrive at Merrick Community Services anywhere from 10:45 am-12:30pm. Pick up the meals and route sheet, review for accuracy. Go to every address on the route and deliver the client the meal, routes usually take about an hour. 

Delivering meals is a simple and rewarding way to help seniors and people with disabilities in need of hot meals and a daily visit from a friendly face, and you can do it over lunch! All you need to do is sign up, and you’ll be connected with your neighborhood Meals on Wheels program to get started.

When you volunteer for Meals on Wheels during your lunch hour, you’re doing your part to guarantee meals are delivered to the more than 4,000 people in need across the Minneapolis/St. Paul metro area. You can volunteer to deliver meals once a week, once a month, with a friend, with a group or on your own – whatever works best for you!

Delivering meals is also a great social activity – you can do it with a friend or a group and you’ll get to know your neighbors who also deliver. And you’ll leave knowing the eight to 10 people on your route received the nourishment and personal connection they need.

Sign up today and know you’ll make an immediate impact on the lives of recipients in your neighborhood. If you have questions, see the list of frequently asked questions, email or call Tim Dooley at tdooley@merrickcs.org or (651) 219-5531 for more information.

Mill City Farmers Market is a Zero Waste farmers market, meaning everything that is served to you at the market—even the straws, cups and forks that look like plastic—are made from compostable materials. By composting sampling supplies, to-go containers and other prepared food and beverage serve ware, our weekly event diverts 93-98% of its waste from the landfill. This program allows MCFM to minimize our carbon footprint and strengthen our commitment to sustainability. At an industrial composting facility, compostables (food scraps, paper plates, bowls, and cups, and compostables) are converted into nutrient-rich soil, reducing the need for chemical fertilizers.

People Serving People is in large need and in search of dedicated volunteers to support our culinary team on an ongoing basis! For every shift, People Serving People serves an average of 150 - 200 meals to guests residing in our shelter. We depend on the support of our volunteers to support our staff, meet the need, and to provide quality service to the families we serve. 

Volunteers work with People Serving People's culinary staff to serve freshly made breakfast, lunch, or dinner to our families. In addition, volunteers are expected to help clean our dining hall as families depart to maintain a clean, dignified space. Meal Service shifts have space for up to six people, and is a great opportunity to bring a few friends or family members to participate. 

Shifts happen three times a day at breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day of the week. Below are the current shift timeframes available to volunteers: 

While each meal may not always take the full two hours, volunteers must be available for the entire shift time to assist our culinary team in cleaning our dining hall or other secondary tasks. 

Volunteers must be 18+, or 13+ with a guardian or adult chaperone. We encourage parents or chaperones to assess each young person's ability to volunteer effectively on a case-by-case basis. Volunteers are expected to be on their feet but stationary for approx. 1.5hrs serving food on a service line to families. Volunteers should be comfortable interacting with strangers and being patient with different engagement and conversation styles.

Emergency Disaster Services (EDS) is there when disaster strikes. Most often this means providing hydration and food service to first responders and victims at local fires or larger disasters such as tornadoes or floods. Whatever the circumstance, EDS relief efforts are supporting communities in times of significant need.

Volunteers are needed for both behind the scenes and front-line disaster work. While every disaster is unique and creates its own special needs, the core of The Salvation Army's Emergency Disaster Program consists of several basic provisions: food service, donations management, emergency communications, disaster case management and emotional and spiritual care. This position requires a willingness to work on-call.

We welcome adult volunteers of all ages to serve at varying levels - from time commitments of just a few hours each month to being available at a moment’s notice.
