VOLUNTEER WITH US

Feed the Need Missions depends on our volunteers. Without our dedicated team of volunteers we would not be able to serve our communities like we do.

We are always in need of more hands at our weekly site locations, special events, and at various other programs we provide in our different locations.

For specific needs in your area, contact your local site coordinator. Or just show up at one of our weekly gatherings and jump in!

We so greatly appreciate you and all our volunteers!
