Volunteer
We pride ourselves on serving the community in a thoughtful and dignified way. We have several different volunteer opportunities available for companies, churches, schools, individuals and families (bring the kids!). Thanks to our dedicated volunteers, we consistently provide food, respect, and friendship to those we serve.
E-mail us at volunteer@feedtoledo.org for more information on how you can get involved.
Friday Night Lunch Packing
Every Friday night from 6:00 – 7:00 pm, Food for Thought gathers volunteers to make PB&J lunches for our neighbors. We are currently scheduling individuals and groups of volunteers to assist in this effort. If you would like to help, please email our Volunteer Coordinator at volunteer@feedtoledo.org for more information and/or to get scheduled.
Community Engagement
Each Saturday morning, we get to know our neighbors as we share the lunches we’ve packed with people throughout the downtown Toledo area. Individuals and groups accompany Food For Thought on our normal bus stop routes as we provide food, water or coffee — as well as conversation with the people we meet — sunshine or snowfall. Saturday distribution will meet at our distribution site, the Cherry Street TARTA terminal at Cherry Street and St. Clair and runs from 10am-12pm.
Mobile Food Pantries
Food for Thought operates a series of mobile food pantries in the Toledo area throughout the month. Many of them require additional volunteer support to operate. Our food pantries provide supplemental food assistance to people in need with the presentation of a photo ID. At our pantries, patrons are allowed to choose from a variety of items, including shelf stable foods, dairy products, fresh fruits and vegetables, and frozen meat.

Warehouse Help
Food For Thought’s warehouse at Lott Industries acts as a storage space for food and the hub of our mobile pantries. We are seeking volunteers to lend a hand in our warehouse for a couple of hours a week. Be part of the action! We promise you’ll have fun in a safe warehouse environment with our staff. Contact our office here to learn more and schedule shifts.
