Food bank seeking volunteers

The West Texas Food Bank is excited to invite the communities it serves to join its volunteer workforce.

Since the beginning of the pandemic, the West Texas Food Bank in the interest of community safety has not been open for regular volunteer opportunities. Although this was a drastic measure, the West Texas Food Bank was the only food bank in the state to not suffer a major outbreak of COVID-19, a press release detailed.

As more people are vaccinated, and as the virus is understood a little more completely, the Food Bank is once again asking the community to volunteer, the release said.

>> All volunteers must register online through our Volunteer Hub portal.

>> All volunteers will be asked to wear a mask and practice proper hand sanitization.

>> All volunteer opportunities are listed on our Volunteer Hub portal.

The Food Bank does have special opportunities for groups, which can be accessed through the Volunteer Hub portal.

“The work we do day in and day out is supported by our volunteer workforce,” said Libby Campbell, CEO of the West Texas Food Bank. “To close our doors was the hardest decision I ever had to make. I am so glad we are able to welcome the community back to their food bank, and to give them the opportunity to give of their time supporting their hungry neighbors.”
