Volunteer
Feeding families across Austin every weekend takes a village! From packing each child’s bag to delivering and distributing food to our local schools, you can make a tangible difference for children and families experiencing food insecurity right here in our community.
Every week, there are several key moments that make the Hungry Souls magic happen. Come join us and be a hero for children and families in Austin!
Tuesday Morning Grocery Pickup
Every week, we purchase the fresh groceries families will need for that week’s recipes. The food must be unloaded, checked in, counted, and loaded onto our pantry shelves. With lots of lifting and moving going on, you will get your workout in—and set the stage for another week of filling hearts and fueling futures.
Tuesday Evening Packing Parties
On Tuesday evenings, a team of volunteers gathers in South Austin for the biggest volunteer event of the week. Together, we inventory the food in our pantry, sort it, and pack up boxes for each family. It takes a lot of people, and it’s a lot of fun!
This opportunity is perfect for individuals, families, or groups. Whether you volunteer one time or come every week, we’d love to have you!
Thursday Van Loading & Delivery
Every Thursday, we load up our vans and deliver fresh and shelf-stable food to schools all around Austin, where they are distributed to each child by name. To make this happen, we need people who can help load food into the vans as well as road warriors who are comfortable driving larger vehicles and navigating delivery routes (think Amazon Prime with a purpose).
Looking for other opportunities to volunteer?
We often have other needs during the week to keep things running smoothly behind the scenes, as well as seasonal opportunities to help with exciting fundraising events. View all opportunities to serve here.
