Join the 5N2 Volunteer Team
Our dedicated volunteers play an essential part in serving over 4,200 free meals and grocery hampers each week to our community. We are a fun and fast-paced team making a deep impact in our community.
Whether it’s working in the kitchens, serving at events, helping in our new hydroponic farms, or delivering food, there’s a role for you at 5N2!
Explore Volunteer Positions
Kitchen Work
If you love meeting new people, then this is your opportunity to connect with community members who could benefit from a conversation and a warm smile while working on various tasks in the kitchen.
Gardening
Our summertime community garden helps us continue to feed those in need while fostering community. If you have a green thumb or love working outdoors, you will thrive in our garden.
Hydroponic Farming
5N2 Farms utilizes hydroponic systems to grow a variety of produce including lettuce, kale, arugula, and basil year-round. Since it is a very specialized form of farming, our team will provide a significant amount of training, including nutrient management, plant care, and system troubleshooting.
Driving
We are in need of drivers who can help drop off pantry foods to our clients every Friday. If you enjoy being on the road, then this is the position for you! Drivers must have their full G license.
Administration & Social Media
If working at a desk or engaging with community online sparks joy for you, then this opportunity might be a perfect fit! Not all of our volunteers need to serve on the front lines – online presence and administration are both equally as vital and valuable to our charity’s cause.
