How to Get Involved
Volunteer
Volunteers are needed for a variety of tasks at Hunger Heroes. You must pre-register to volunteer. Registration fills up quickly so we recommend registering early. Once spots fill up, a cancellation list will be started. There are multiple shifts throughout the day, but we ask your group only register for 1 shift in order to allow for as many groups to participate as possible.

We’ve made giving easy by setting up a registry on Amazon. You can purchase items off our wish list and have them sent right to the United Way. Click here to start shopping.
