Volunteers are crucial to our success, without them, we would not be able to offer our programs and services.
Our generous volunteers work daily to staff our Food Pantry and the Free Store so we may serve the community. Our Student and Family Services program relies on volunteers seasonally for organizing school supplies and packing backpacks and the holiday assistance program. We also utilize volunteers daily/weekly to assist with office work, special events, cleaning, gardening, and groundskeeping. Our Project Lift after-school program utilizes high school students from Saratoga Springs High School.
Our goal is have volunteers who are interested in giving back to their community in meaningful ways and we strive to provide a variety of volunteer options to match the interests of individuals.
The majority of our volunteer opportunities take place during our operating hours of Monday-Friday between 9AM and 4PM.
After completing the volunteer application, the next step in the onboarding process is the new volunteer orientation session. These sessions are held quarterly, if our programs are in need of new volunteers. You will be contacted a few weeks before the session with more information. Due to the sessions happening infrequently, we appreciate your patience! If you’d like to support FCC in the meantime, please email our Volunteer & Community Engagement Coordinator, Julianna Luciano, at [email protected] to discuss off-site options (ex. hosting a food drive, sponsoring kids through our holiday assistance program, hosting a fundraiser, etc).
