We LOVE student volunteers! Our mission is to make it safe and easy for volunteers to help, whether it's on the weekend, after school, or in the evening!
Since our start in 2020, hundreds of students have earned service hours by filling Little Free Food Pantries, creating Boost Bags, building Care Packages, and making sandwiches for our neighbors who are experiencing hunger and food insecurity.
One question we’re frequently asked by students and families: how much time can I submit for volunteering? And after five years of students volunteering for our organization, we've had a chance to average the time it takes to complete each opportunity.
New for 2025! The hours below reflect the maximum number of student hours we can approve for each service opportunity, based on average student submissions!
