Volunteer with us

By volunteering with SVFR you’ll not only be helping to reduce hunger in your community but also supporting a healthy environment by helping us reduce the amount of organic waste that goes into the local landfill.

The success of our food rescue work depends on reliable volunteers who can work both independently and in cooperation with SVFR leaders and partners. Seven Valleys Food Rescue (SVFR) cannot operate without the volunteers who dedicate their time to rescuing food and reducing hunger in our community.

Considering joining us?

Volunteer activities may include: 

  • Doing a food rescue run (picking up and dropping off food)

  • Sorting and bagging/boxing rescued food

  • Preparing for a community food giveaway by filling refrigerators/freezers or unpacking shelf-stable items onto tables

  • Distributing food to community members at a food giveaway

  • Helping to glean (pick) food from farms, gardens, or yards

  • Helping connect SVFR to food that needs to be rescued and/or new distribution partners/sites

Below you will find the online waiver form that you will need to fill out and submit to get started as an SVFR volunteer as well as FAQ area of common questions asked. 

If you are feeling like you need additional support to get you started, we’re available and happy to help! Contact us at (607) 756-4198 or email avery@sevenvalleyshealth.org.
