Get Involved
Volunteers are invaluable to the Food Bank. Without the 60,000
plus hours of volunteer help each year, the NTFB would be
unable to provide food to the hundreds of thousands of hungry
North Texans it currently serves.

New Volunteer Reservation Policy in effect
We want to accommodate all individuals and groups that want to volunteer at the NTFB warehouse. And because we want to ensure the best volunteer experience, we will no longer be able to accept individuals or groups that have not made reservations in advance. You may schedule your volunteer time in advance with our Volunteer Coordinator. Thank you for sharing your time with the North Texas Food Bank!
