Two Towns. One Mission.
The Heart of Our Food Bank is
OUR PEOPLE
Are you passionate about making a difference in your community?
Join us as a volunteer!
​
There are many ways to become involved with the Seymour Oxford Food Bank. Whether you are interested in volunteering regularly, dropping in occasionally, joining our board, or supporting our work through donations, we have lots of ways for you to support our mission.
​​
We are always looking for additional help with sorting, stocking, and inventory on donations. We also have opportunities to help with client appointments, picking up store donations, and social media. As we expand our client offerings, we are looking to connect individuals who have social work experience, have an interest in performing CAN assessments, or assisting clients with applying for benefits and tax preparations.
​​​​
If you are passionate about helping your neighbors while spreading love and kindness, then we might just be the perfect fit for you!

Looking for Other Ways to Support Our Work?
Maybe you're short on time but you still feel called to support our work. There are big and small ways to help without volunteering regularly. We've listed just a few below.
Collecting Donations
Whether you are an individual, organization, or business, your food donations—whether one-time or ongoing—make a difference in our community. We sincerely appreciate every food drive, holiday collection, and personal initiative. Together, we are making an impact for our neighbors in need.
Financial Support
Like food donations, every little bit of monetary support helps! The financial support of our donors not only helps us pay our staff a living wage, it also helps ensure we have healthy staples on our shelves and can fund important updates and projects that will enhance our ability to meet the growing need.
Share Our Work
Every time you mention our work, you are helping to support our mission. Your voice is powerful! When you share about what you see and hear going on here, you are helping to expand our reach. Every review, like, comment, and share on social media allows us to reach individuals who may need or even want to support our work.
