Our volunteers’ safety comes first
At Second Harvest, the health and safety of our employees, volunteers, guests, and community partners is a priority. As a result, all in-person opportunities require volunteers to be fully vaccinated and follow additional Second Harvest health and safety protocols. Volunteer positions may be limited and are subject to change.
