Let's Get Started!
Thank you for your interest in volunteering at Feeding America San Diego! Volunteering is great for families, individuals wanting to meet new people, and great team building for organizations.
How to Begin
Volunteers ages 6 and over are welcome to volunteer at Feeding America San Diego. Ages 6-13 require one adult chaperone to every five children. Ages 14-15 require one adult chaperone to every 10 youth volunteers. Ages 16 and over may volunteer on their own.
Take a look at the schedule of ongoing volunteer opportunities here.
See something that works with your schedule? Email volunteersd@feedingamericasd.org and let the Volunteer Coordinator know you are interested. Please include a few days and times you are available, as well as the date you would like to start. The Volunteer Coordinator will get back to you with a scheduled day and time for you to come in and volunteer.
While awaiting a reply, print and begin to fill out our Volunteer Information Sheet and Waiver. All first- time volunteers are required to bring a completed waiver with them on their first visit. Be sure to take a look at the Volunteer letter to learn more about Distribution Center policies, what to expect when you get here, and directions to our facility. Please email volunteersd@feedingamericasd.org if you would like to participate with one of our ongoing volunteer groups.
New Volunteer Shift:
Feeding America San Diego has opened a new volunteer shift from 3-4:30 pm geared toward students ages 6 and over. Please email Alicia Saake at volunteersd@feedingamericasd.org to sign up or learn more.
Volunteer San Diego FLEX Volunteers:
Feeding America San Diego is sad to hear that Volunteer San Diego has closed. If you volunteered with us through them in the past, please know we would love to have you continue to volunteer with us. You can see our volunteer shifts here. To sign up, please email Alicia Saake at volunteersd@feedingamericasd.org.
Looking for leadership opportunities? Become a FASD Team Leader or Ambassador!
Team Leaders help lead warehouse projects under the leadership of the Volunteer Coordinator. This is a perfect opportunity for volunteers looking for leadership opportunities. You don’t need to have already volunteered or worked in a warehouse, you just need a great attitude, a desire to help us achieve our mission, and a willingness to learn new skills (including warehouse skills). We have Team Leader Orientations the first Saturday of each month, but if you aren’t able to make Saturday, we would love to have you come in on a Tuesday or Wednesday from 6-8 to learn more. Current Team Leader needs include:
Tuesday and Wednesday nights from 6-8 pm
Saturday mornings from 9 am- 12 pm
Various weekday shifts
Just email volunteersd@feedingamericasd.org to sign up.
Ambassadors help to spread the word about what Feeding America San Diego is doing in our community. Ambassadors help to research community events for Feeding America San Diego to attend and help to staff those events and let our community know more about what we do. Ambassadors often also volunteer in the warehouse and may be asked to give tours during events. Current ambassador opportunities include:
For more information about becoming an Ambassador or to sign up for one of the events above, please email volunteersd@feedingamericasd.org

Special events are always happening and FASD needs volunteers to make the events a success. Events will be posted on this page for you to sign up. If you want to be the first to know when events are happening, join the special event email list.
