The Food Bank of York Region counts on the help of our volunteers to meet the need with our hunger relief efforts. We have the food, but we need help to get it to those in need in our neighbourhoods and communities. Our volunteers’ impact and involvement are crucial to the success of our food program.

If you are a Court Ordered volunteer looking to complete your community service hours, you MUST contact our volunteer coordinator at volunteer@fbyr.ca PRIOR to coming in for a volunteer shift for an additional screening to be approved. Failure to do so will have to turned away for the volunteer shift.

If you are under the age of 16 years old, you MUST have a parent/guardian volunteering along side you on the SAME volunteer shift. If you do not have a parent/guardian present, unfortunately you will be turned away for that shift.

Once you submit the application below, you will be sent an automated email with instructions on how to access our online volunteer schedule and our waiver that needs to be signed and brought in on your first volunteer shift.
