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

With every volunteer shift, Leslie feels she impacts the community.
