Volunteer With Us

We are an all-volunteer organization and we always need new volunteers! You are always welcome to just show up to any of the kitchens below or if you’d just like to help serve and not cook, show up at People’s Park at 3pm on any of the days listed below.

In addition to helping prepare and serve food, there are a number of other opportunities to help out with EBFNB. We especially need licensed drivers to help with regular donation pick-ups from farmers’ markets and supermarkets. Please fill out this form with your availability, and we’ll be in touch!

Feel free to also send us a message on our Instagram if you want to chat and learn more!

We are hoping to plan regular volunteer orientations in the near future, so follow our Instagram for those updates!
