Volunteer | Comfort Food Community

Our volunteers are the beating heart of this organization. We could not meet the needs of the community without your help. Thank you.

New Volunteers

Haven't volunteered with us before? Welcome! For ten years, Comfort Food Community has relied on the support of our incredible volunteers to feed our community members in need. Volunteers help us at all stages of the process from harvesting food directly from the farm, to sorting and packing, to distributing to our food access partners and community members directly! We're thrilled to add you to our team. Please fill out our Volunteer Registration Form. Then, someone will contact you about how to get started!

Tabling: Saratoga Sustainability Fair

Comfort Food Community is hosting an informational table at Sustainable Saratoga's Sustainability Fair at Skidmore's Center for Integrated Sciences on Saturday, April 12th from 10am to 2pm! We are looking for two volunteers to set up and host our table, engaging event attendees and handing out information and giveaways.

Driving Assistant

Each week, Comfort Food Community picks up and distributes food to and from our partners all across our service area! We rely on volunteers to ride along with our driver and assist in loading, unloading, and organizing the food. This volunteer opportunity is ideal for someone who can sit in the car for long stretches of time and lift up to 50 lbs. You will have the opportunity to meet many of the people who make up CFC's food access network as well as the individuals who benefit from the work we do here at the Food & Farm Hub!

Weekly Pack Out

Help sort and pack produce from local farms in preparation for Food Recovery's weekly distribution.

Pantry Service

Pantry volunteers help us organize and restock the pantry and distribute food during the Greenwich or Cossayuna Pantry services. Pantry volunteers must participate in a pantry-specific orientation event prior to their first volunteer shift. If you would like to receive information about our next orientation, please submit our Volunteer Registration Form. If you are a current pantry volunteer, use the link to sign up for your shifts.
