Food BANKing

Dates to Know

9-16-2024 | Registration Opens

Upon registration, we will create your team’s fundraising page and send you the link to review.

9-16-2024 | Volunteer Opportunities Open

Though Food BANKing officially kicks off on October 1st, we invite you to start earning volunteer points now! Sign up to volunteer at refb.org/volunteer. We encourage you to share this link and the information below with employees, friends, and family—their hours will be counted towards your team’s total when they volunteer.

Once registered for a shift, please be sure to communicate with us that you’re coming to volunteer for Food BANKing so we can track your points! You can either:

1. Inform your team coordinator who will communicate with the Redwood Empire Food Bank to ensure your hours get logged. 
2. Reply to the volunteer confirmation email sent to you upon registration to indicate that you are participating in Food BANKing and what team you are earning points for.

You only need to notify us on your first shift of the 2024 campaign. After that, you’ll be added to your bank’s volunteer team in our system and we can take it from there.
