Each year, volunteers served nearly 15,000 hours at the food bank and helped distribute over 1 million pounds of food.  With only five paid full-time staff members, the White Center Food Bank is a volunteer-driven organization.  In order to ensure the needs of our customers are met and to help provide good customer service, it takes 20-25 volunteers to run the food bank when we are open for distribution.

The White Center Food Bank is open for distribution four days a week and offers a wide variety of opportunities to meet the volunteer needs of individuals, groups, and organizations that wish to help provide essential services to families in our community.

Without the support of hundreds of volunteer hours here at the food bank, we would not be able to provide so many services to our customers. There are many ways to offer your expertise here at the food bank. Please consider giving some of your time to support the community.

The Salvation Army Seattle, White Center Community Center values education greatly. Volunteers are needed to help with a variety of engaging activities including homework help and academic support, active games and sport, structured enrichments, and lots of time to play and socialize with friends.
