VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

Thank you for your interest in Food For Free.

We need volunteers to help at most of our programs, so depending on your preferred day there is a program for everyone!  If you are looking to schedule group volunteer events, please email volunteers@foodforfree.org or visit https://www.foodforfree.org/group-volunteering.

The majority of our programs operate out of our distribution center in the Inner Belt area of Somerville, MA. To start volunteering with us, Food For Free requires that individuals create an account and attend a New Volunteer Orientation. The orientation session provides valuable information about Food For Free and our programs and how to get the most out of your volunteer experience. 


Afterward, you will be able to sign up for shifts through our online calendar of opportunities.
