Without the labor of love of time and effort provided by our volunteers, the Food Bank of West Central Texas could not accomplish its mission. For individuals and groups, all volunteer opportunities are customized to suit the skills and needs of those involved. Corporate volunteers design unique teambuilding projects, while school groups learn about hunger issues when volunteering in their community.
