We Love Volunteers!

Yuma Community Food Bank relied on more than 10,000 volunteers last year whose hours totaled 160,231. It's pretty incredible to see so many caring individuals pass through our warehouse throughout the year. Our various volunteer opportunities offer fun and unique ways for individuals and groups to contribute their time, talents and resources to help our neighbors in need. Volunteering is a great way to make friends, learn something new and have fun while fighting hunger in your community!

Give the gift of your time and talent as a Yuma Community Food Bank Volunteer 
and make a direct impact on the front lines of hunger!
