Volunteer with Nourish

Volunteers are the heart of Nourish Pierce County. With over two-dozen staff members supporting 23 food distribution sites, volunteers make it possible to provide nutritious food to tens of thousands of neighbors each year. Click here to apply online.

Is Volunteering Right for You?
Nourish volunteers help us operate busy food distribution sites that serve tens of thousands of people each year. Volunteers are expected to work independently after orientation and follow staff direction during shifts. While volunteers often gain valuable experience, Nourish is not able to provide job training, work-readiness assessments, or ongoing job coaching. Volunteers should be able to participate independently after orientation and perform assigned tasks with limited supervision.

Nourish is a good fit for people who enjoy hands-on service work, can follow instructions in a fast-paced environment, and want to provide a welcoming environment for guests.
