When school ends, many families lose access to meals. Food insecurity is already at record levels in Pierce County. EFN’s food pantry partners served over 3.7 million visits in 2025. Take action with us by exploring the month’s volunteer opportunities:
Without the help of volunteers, it would not be possible for EFN to distribute over 1 million pounds of food every month to food pantries across Pierce County. Whether you prefer to volunteer solo or as a group, enjoy community time or quiet time, there’s a need for you here!
All volunteers, both returning and new, need to create a MyVolunteerPage account.
Repack Project volunteers transform bulk food shipments into family-sized portions that are ready to help feed the community! At our Lakewood Distribution Center, you and your fellow volunteers might find yourselves bagging up oats, pasta, or rice or packing local produce bags for our Home Delivery recipients. Once repackaged the food is ready to go out to the 75+ Pierce County food pantries, meal sites, and shelters that we serve.
The Repack Project is designed for teams of 8-15 volunteers. You can reserve a session just for your group or join other community members during a scheduled session for Individuals and Families.
This volunteer opportunity is open to individuals aged 12 and older. Volunteers aged 15 and under must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
In order to ensure distribution of food to the most vulnerable in our community, EFN launched the Home Delivery program. This program supports community members who have barriers to accessing their local food pantries.
EFN’s Home Delivery Program is looking for volunteer drivers to help us increase the number of families we serve across Pierce County! With your support, we can deliver boxes filled with fresh, nutritious food directly to homes, ensuring more families have access to the food they need.
Volunteer Details:
As a Volunteer Driver, you’ll have the chance to directly impact the lives of local families while enjoying a fulfilling and rewarding experience. Must be 18 or older to participate.
