If you’ve volunteered with us in the last year, we recommend logging into Bloomerang Volunteer, our volunteer management system. If you need help managing your volunteer profile please review this guide or reach out to us for support. Contact Volunteer@SecondChanceFoods.org.
Transport volunteers need a vehicle and valid license/registration/insurance. All of our other opportunities welcome all skill levels.
Our volunteer opportunities are diverse. You can do a rescue run or cook meals, sort through donated foods or pack Community Supported Nutrition boxes, transport rescued food, and so much more! We’re always adding new ways to get involved and have something for everyone. Explore our open opportunities, and let us know if you have any questions.
We have regular Volunteer Opportunities Monday through Friday and Sundays. Shifts vary from 1 to 3 hours, and some days offer multiple shifts.
As frequently as you’d like. Join us once a year, twice a month, or every week – however much time you can give will have a lasting impact on the community.
All accounts must be in the name of the person who is volunteering—and every volunteer needs their own account.
This can be done in a separate account using two unique email addresses -or- by the process below:
Life happens! We understand you may have last minute commitments come up. However, it’s easy for you to delete and add shifts using your Bloomerang Volunteer Profile—if you need help please review the Volunteer Resource videos here.
***If you’re a transportation volunteer and need to cancel the same day as your shift—please call or text Melissa at 845-723-1309
Group volunteering is a fun way to give back, and we love the joy that helping cook meals, sort groceries, or package food brings to others! However, we cannot fulfill every request due to our regular programming, staff, and facility size. We work hard to accommodate as many groups as possible and ensure these experiences are meaningful for the group and impactful at our organization.
Contact Melissa for more information about volunteer positions, group opportunities, and more!
“Helping our environment and the food insecure simultaneously while working alongside like-minded people is inspiring!”
Sign up for our weekly emails to get the latest news, stories, volunteer opportunities, impact, recipes and more! To kick things off you’ll receive our recipe for Carrot Ginger Soup—the first meal we ever made in the kitchen.
Though we wish we could supply food to everyone in need, Second Chance Foods cannot provide meals or groceries directly to individuals. Our solution is to collaborate with existing programs in the community and supplement their food with our meals and groceries. If you or someone you know is in need of assistance, please refer to our resource page here for our partnerships and local options.
