GREAT TRAINING OPPORTUNITY

 

Companies spend a lot of money on training programs. What if there was a way to provide free training while also helping the food bank?

Team-building through fundraising, food drives, or group volunteer activities has many benefits.

Leading a team volunteer project:

 

• Develops additional leadership skills as an employee works with all levels of people in the organization to accomplish a task.

​

• Enhances project management skills.

​

• Enhances or builds upon an employees verbal and written communications.

​

VOLUNTEERS

 

Our volunteers impact the lives of the more than 3,000 people the food bank feeds each month.
 

• Encourage employees to volunteer at the food pantry by sorting food, stocking shelves, helping pickup food, and welcoming clients.

​

• Encourage leaders within your company to use their skills, talents, and knowledge to join our Board of Directors, or a committee.

​

• Encourage employees to use their intellectual capital as Project Managers, Human Resources, Marketing, Etc.

​

• Consider a ‘dollars-for-doer’s incentive’. For every hour an employee volunteers, the company donates a certain amount (i.e., 1 hour = $100).

​

• Allow employees a specific amount of time during work hours to volunteer.
