If you are interested in a group volunteering opportunity, please fill out the form using the link above. Availability of volunteering opportunities depends on the capacity of our warehouse. Therefore, we kindly ask that you submit your request at least one month in advance of your desired date. This will give us enough time to accommodate your request.
We recommend a maximum of 6-8 people for group volunteering sessions. Your group will assist us in sorting donated, reclaimed, and baby food items during the session. This role is crucial for the Airdrie Food Bank as it helps us process the received food and ensures that our clients receive the support they need.
Our programs and services at the Airdrie Food Bank are designed to provide adequate nutrition for all clients, with the aim of ensuring that no one goes hungry. Sorting Volunteers play a pivotal role in supporting our mission and vision. Specifically, volunteers in this role contribute to the success of our Hamper Program, which is dedicated to providing adequate nutrition for all clients.

Group Age & Participation Guidelines
To ensure a safe and positive experience for everyone, we ask that all sorting groups follow these guidelines:
-
Children 10 and under are not permitted in the sorting area due to safety and liability requirements.
-
Youth ages 10–15 must be accompanied by an adult supervisor from their group.
-
Participants 16 and older may volunteer without an adult supervisor.
-
Sorting groups should consist of 6–8 participants total, including any required adult supervisor.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in helping us maintain a safe environment for all volunteers!

Our ability to carry out our mission is made possible by the selfless dedication of our compassionate community volunteers, who generously offer their time every day.
We invite everyone, including friends, church groups, sports clubs, youth groups, and corporate teams, to join our cause and make a difference in the lives of those we serve.
