Volunteer Staff

BFL depends on its volunteers to fulfill its mission. New volunteers are always needed and welcome. BFL’s greatest need is for volunteers who can work on a recurring basis, but individual volunteers and groups are also regularly needed especially for special tasks like maintenance parties and, Thanksgiving and Christmas baskets.

Here is a sampling of the tasks done daily by volunteers:

  • Loading and unloading food deliveries
  • Sorting food products and stocking shelves
  • sorting and cleaning produce for client use
  • Repacking products into family size protions
  • Helping clients fill emergency food baskets
