Orientation Overview

Attending volunteer orientation is a prerequisite to volunteering at Sacramento Food Bank & Family Services. If you wish to volunteer in any program, including mobile distributions of Food Assistance, please join us for an upcoming volunteer orientation.

Volunteer orientation lasts approximately 1 hour and will cover volunteer policies and procedures, safety information, volunteer openings, program descriptions, as well as the history and background about SFBFS. It’s a great way for our potential volunteers to see If SFBFS is a good fit for them.

During orientation, you will tour the facility and choose the program you are most interested in. Following orientation, the program manager will contact you for a brief interview. We will do our best to assign volunteers to their number one program of choice, however, placement in a volunteer position is not guaranteed, as there are not always openings for all volunteer positions.

Volunteer orientations are offered 4-6 times per month at both of our facilities. You may attend orientation at either the Oak Park or North Sacramento facilities and then volunteer at a different facility or at a mobile distribution. Click here to see volunteer orientation dates.

If orientation fits your schedule and you are interested in volunteering for SFBFS, please complete the volunteer sign up form.

If you would like to bring a group to volunteer at SFBFS, you will attend an orientation on the day your group volunteers. Click here for more information on group volunteering.
