Getting started as an individual:

All volunteers who are not coming with a group of 5 or more must attend an orientation session. Orientations are held every 2nd and 3rd Tuesday of the month at 6:00 PM at our facility located at 3811 Eastex Freeway, Houston, Texas 77026.

Orientation lasts about 1 hour and includes a tour of the facility. Children under the age of eight years old are not allowed in the warehouse due to OSHA guidelines. Children under the age of sixteen years old must be accompanied by an adult at all times. Please let us know which session you will be attending via e-mail to omccarthy@houstonfoodbank.org

Please review the following Volunteer Guidelines to be sure you are able to comply with our safety rules:

All volunteers must wear close toed shoes, long shorts or pants, and a tee shirt. Sandals and flip flops are not allowed in the warehouse.
No cell phones, purses, bags or headphones are permitted in the warehouse.
No overly tight or sexually suggestive clothing are permitted in the warehouse.

Clothing must be free of offensive messages and graphics.
Muscle shirts on men, women or children are not permitted in the warehouse.

Our volunteer program is extremely flexible and accommodating for even the busiest Houstonian. While volunteers are not required to volunteer a certain amount of time each month, they are required to call or e-mail the Volunteer Services Office before arriving.
