VolunteER


​​

NCFB has a Volunteer Center that can accommodate large or small groups.  Last year our Volunteers contributed over 13,000 hours. 
Participating in a volunteer experience can be fun as well as rewarding, even an hour or two makes a big difference.
If you or your group would like to volunteer, please contact Megan at 218-399-7361 or email megan@northcountryfoodbank.org.
