You can sign up for shifts on our volunteer calendar, but we are unable to guarantee a set number of hours. We also are not able to provide one-on-one supervision at this time.

All volunteers must wear closed-toed shoes (no sandals or flip flops allowed) and comfortable clothing. Specific attire instructions will be sent to you in your confirmation email when you register for a shift.

Shifts marked “Full” or “Reserved” have already reached capacity and cannot accommodate more volunteers. Please find another shift that works for your schedule.

All of our shifts are listed on our volunteer calendar. At this time we are unable to accommodate requests outside of the shifts listed on the calendar.

We accept court-ordered community service on a case-by-case basis.  Volunteers must first apply.

Yes, the Volunteer Department staff can provide a standard form to verify hours or sign documentation that you bring in. Please ask for this at the beginning of your shift. Letters of recommendation will be written on a case-by-case basis.

Philabundance is closed on all major holidays. We provide food to many agencies that may be open and in need of help serving food – view a list of alternate volunteering locations. Please note: during the winter holidays, from November 1 through December 31, food banks and other agencies are often booked months in advance, and receive many requests for help; Consider volunteering or donating in slower times of the year, like the spring or summer.

Free parking is available at all of our volunteer sites.
