Other Ways to Support The Food Bank
Donate Food.
Donated food makes up a large portion of the food in our warehouse that is distributed to people in need. If you are in the food industry, consider donating overstocked or short-dated items. We actively seek partnerships with grocers, haulers, manufacturers, retailers and other members of the food industry. Contact us at foodbank@foodbankwma.org for more information.
Food drives are a great way for community groups, businesses, faith communities, families, and other groups to give back. Learn more about how to conduct a food drive.
Donate Time.
Volunteers are essential to our work, and help out in many ways – from sorting food in our warehouse, to assisting with office work, to providing support for fundraising events. If you are interested in volunteering, sign up to attend one of our upcoming Volunteer Orientations.
Donate Goods or Services.
We gladly accept donations of goods and services, and other gifts, ideas, and resources that help us fight hunger. This might include donation of professional services such as graphic design, printing, consulting, professional development, or other areas of talent. We also greatly appreciate donations of goods such as auction items for events, advertising/promotional space, office equipment or supplies, and event-related equipment or supplies.
If you have goods or services you’d like to donate, please contact us at development@foodbankwma.org.
