Capital Area Food Bank

The Capital Area Food Bank is the largest organization in the Washington metro area working to solve hunger. In a region as large as metropolitan Washington, ensuring everyone has access to good, healthy food takes a significant community effort—which is why we partner with over 450 nonprofit organizations in DC and the surrounding region. Together, we provide 30 million meals to almost half a million area residents, every year. And because we know that food alone won’t solve hunger, we also address the root causes of hunger through multiple education programs and innovative service delivery partnerships.

 By partnering over 400 community organizations in DC, MD, and VA, as well as delivering food directly into hard to reach areas, the CAFB is helping 500,000 people each year get access to good, healthy food. That’s 10% of our region’s mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, sisters, brothers, and grandparents.

Volunteer will assist our staff in packing food at our DC Warehouse. This can be packing boxes for seniors, sorting donated canned goods, working at our Urban Garden, and more.
