We have several different impact areas to volunteer in!
Our volunteers helping pack bags and loading them into bins at a Food Sort
Food Sorts:
Mondays from 5-7 pm and Tuesdays from 3-5 pm
On Monday nights from 5-7 pm and Tuesday afternoons from 3-5 pm. Our volunteers pack several different food items into individual bags and fill them up into bins for each school, which we then distribute out to the local schools. Every Monday is at the Champaign Church of Christ. On Tuesdays, we alternate between the Champaign Church of Christ and the Hope Center.

Food Receiving and Stocking:
2nd and 4th Monday of each month from 12:30-1:30 pm
Twice a month, we need help unloading our delivery trucks and storing the food that we receive from the Eastern Illinois Foodbank, in addition to what we order ourselves. (Please note that this may include lifting and moving boxes of up to 25 pounds.)
The 2nd Monday of the month is at the Champaign Church of Christ
The 4th Monday of the month is at the Hope Center
Volunteers loading bins up for delivery to local schools
School Delivery Volunteers:
Our food is delivered to the schools by our amazing volunteers. Bins are picked up from the Champaign Church of Christ or Hope Center on Tuesday evening (4:00 – 5:30 PM) and then delivered to the school the next morning. This is done every other week from each site.
