Central Texas Food Bank – May Volunteer Service Project


Date/Time : Saturday, 7 May 2022 - 8:30am - 12:00pm | Add To Your Calendar
Location : Central Texas Food Bank, 6500 Metropolis Dr., Austin

The Notre Dame Club of Austin is proud to announce our next Service Project coming up in early May with the Central Texas Food Bank. The Central Texas Food Bank works with food donors across the country, financial supporters, and volunteers to fill unmet needs in Central Texas. This commitment from private, government, and charitable partners has allowed them to bring nearly 54 million meals to our community last year and into the hands of families and local nonprofits that turn to them for help.


As a warehouse volunteer, you’ll help us inspect, clean, sort, box, and prepare donated food and non-food items to distribute to our Partner Agencies and distribution programs and the folks they serve. Here is a video that details what you can expect as a volunteer.
