Volunteers who help in the Emergency Assistance program typically have served as Food Bank volunteers for at least 6 months and completed Client Interviewer training. If you have a strong desire to work with clients in need of emergency financial assistance, please inquire about fast track training so you can get involved.

There are other ways to help the EA program behind the scenes, particularly if you are interested in computer data entry or have strong Microsoft Excel skills.
