Thank You to Our Volunteers!
We are proud to be supported by over 70 dedicated volunteers, past and present, who make the work of the Shelburne Food Bank possible. From sorting and distributing food to weekly food rescue, supporting our seniors markets, and helping behind the scenes, our volunteers show up week after week to support our community. Their time and commitment ensure that we can continue to provide reliable support to those who need it. As a currently fully volunteer-run organization, everything we do depends on the people who give their time so generously. To all of our volunteers, thank you. Your work does not go unnoticed, and it makes a real difference every day.
