Volunteering is the Universal Love Language

Volunteers for the Bites, Camera, Action program, which is funded by the Universal Orlando Foundation, come to the food bank monthly to pack food boxes for local families, seniors and veterans. Through this program, they also help out at school resource fairs by cooking, providing dinner for families, and distributing bags of fresh produce.

Volunteering to Bring Joy to Others 

Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida has an elite group of volunteers who consistently go above and beyond the role of a typical volunteer. They are called Volunteer Captains.  

Captains have the experience and leadership skills to show newer volunteers how to perform the tasks of a shift.  They lead projects, train new volunteers, and support warehouse operations.

Volunteering helps bridge the gap for families facing hunger
