Volunteer

FAMSAC is operated by local volunteers and supported entirely within our community. We are always in need of volunteers. Here is a list of available opportunities:

  • Collecting donated food from grocery stores
  • Sorting food and stocking shelves
  • Taking phone calls from clients who need to register or book appointments
  • Registering new clients and recording their intake information
  • Assisting clients during their appointments at the food cupboard
  • Delivering food to people who are unable to collect it themselves
  • Organizing food drives
  • Helping with fundraising

If you would like to volunteer with FAMSAC, please fill out our online form or email us at volunteer@famsac.ca and someone will reach out to you shortly. Secondary school students will receive credit for volunteer hours.
