Description

Louisiana has the highest rate of food insecurity in our country, but together we can ensure no senior goes hungry.

The Food Bank of Northeast Louisiana is looking for volunteers to help pack boxes for our Senior Program These food boxes will provide about 30 pounds of shelf stable items like beans, rice, canned vegetables and more to over 1,400 low income senior citizens every month.

Multiple one-hour shifts are available from Monday - Friday at the Food Bank in Monroe. Once you apply, our Volunteer Coordinator will contact you to schedule your shift.

  • This activity involves walking, bending, and some lifting.
  • This activity takes place in our warehouse, which is not climate controlled, so please dress comfortably.
  • Volunteers 12-16 must be accompanied by a adult guardian.  

Thank you for your interest in serving our community!
