Skills-Based Volunteering

The Food Bank often seeks volunteers who are interested in using their professional and general life skills to help our team with office projects and administrative tasks. Some of these tasks include data entry, utilizing the phone for thank you calls and event solicitation, preparing mailing projects, supporting front desk calls and inquiries, and more.

Most of these opportunities currently take place out of our West Suburban Center in Geneva. Occasionally, there is a need for skills-based support at our other Centers in Joliet, Lake Forest, and Rockford so if you are interested in volunteering in this way, please let us know!

Shift days and hours during weekdays are flexible and Food Bank team members will work with volunteers to set a schedule that is most convenient for them.

If you are interested in helping in this way or have any questions, please send an email to the Volunteer Team at volunteer@northernilfoodbank.org.
