From stocking pantry shelves and packing food to supporting special events and community projects, volunteers are an essential part of how we serve families and individuals across northern New Jersey. There are many ways to get involved, whether you can give your time regularly or just for a day.

Corporate Volunteer Opportunities

Corporate volunteer projects are a great team-building exercise, giving employees an opportunity to work together while supporting CFA’s mission. Depending on group size, scheduling, and CFA’s current needs, teams may help sort and pack food, prepare items for distribution, organize warehouse inventory, assemble Weekend Snack Packs, or assist with seasonal projects.

Group opportunities are limited and must be arranged in advance. Our team will work with you to identify an appropriate project based on availability and the size of your group.
