    How to Apply

    Our online application form is at https://www.volgistics.com/appform/1935954455 . You must review and familiarize yourself with our Volunteer Guidelines at https://foodbrigade.org/component/phocadownload/category/5-volunteers?download=10:volunteer-guidelines . You must also complete our initial volunteer orientation session at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4Ci7Viw0Bk before being able to sign up for shifts. If you are under the age of 18, the consent of a parent or guardian is required.

    Once your volunteer application has been reviewed and approved, you will then be able to access our volunteer scheduling platform and sign up for shifts. Never simply show up to volunteer at a shift that you have not signed up for in advance in through our volunteer scheduling app - simply finding out about this opportunity through this website is NOT sufficient for you to volunteer with us!
