Volunteers are integral to Fishline’s mission and vision, and we are eager to work with you! Supporting Fishline as a volunteer means you’ll directly impact helping community members onto a path towards sustainability, learn more about barriers to accessing care in Kitsap County, and help our team save precious time and resources that we can put back into our work. With your help, we can help our neighbors reach their full potential.
Volunteer Opportunities
Market
These volunteers are integral in ensuring that we distribute almost 100,000 lbs. of food every month.
Behind the Scenes: Volunteers support the Food Bank with the warehouse operations of packing, sorting, stocking shelves, and gleaning produce. They also help keep the market and work areas organized and clean.
Available shifts Monday-Friday
Client-facing: Volunteers assist with greeting and checking in clients, grocery check-out, carrying bags, pushing shopping carts, and loading groceries into clients’ vehicles. The ability to work with diverse populations in a busy environment is a must.
Available shifts Monday-Friday
Second Season Thrift Store
Love fashion and finding a great bargain? We are looking for volunteers to accept and process donations, provide customer support, and organize and price merchandise, which helps fund Fishline’s programs and services.
Available Shifts Monday through Saturdays
Client Services
Social Services program volunteers are passionate, patient, kind, dedicated, and comfortable interacting with a large diverse population. They serve a crucial role within our organization and get to know our clients on an individual basis. Check out our “Get Help” section for more information about the services you can aid.
Flexible shifts, available Monday through Fridays
Drivers
Do you want to help and stay behind the scenes and enjoy driving? Join our volunteer driver team! Responsibilities include picking up donations, delivering, lifting up to 60lbs, and must hold a clean driving record. Driver volunteers hold a very important role in our organization. Each of our locations require driver support.
Option 1: As a Grocery Rescue volunteer, you’ll visit designated stores weekly to retrieve donations and transport them back to the food bank. It’s a really important role that requires some training, sincere commitment, and reliability! These drivers must be able to lift boxes up to 60 lbs. and be comfortable driving large vans.
Option 2: Here at Fishline and Second Season, we try to use everything possible, but some items are unusable or unsalvageable; if we kept it all, our organization would cease to function. We need committed weekly drivers to take those materials and deliver them to other organizations that may be able to use them. These drivers must be able to lift boxes up to 60 lbs. and be comfortable driving large vans.
Swank Grow and Share Farm
Look no further! We offer various opportunities to give back to our community while you enjoy the fresh air and a great workout!
Option 1: This farm is approximately ¼ of an acre in an offsite location, that helps us provide fresh produce to our clients. You don’t need to be an expert in farming, we will train you, but you need to have the ability and willingness to learn how to plant, weed, and cultivate the property. Working days at the farm are typically on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 9am-12pm.
