Volunteer at the Amherst Survival Center

Volunteers are at the heart of everything we do at the Amherst Survival Center.

Join the team of 100+ people a week that help us towards our goal of getting more food to more people during the Covid-19 crisis by volunteering at the Amherst Survival Center. Most people volunteer on site for one 3 hour shift each week for three months or more. Volunteer shifts take place both inside and outside of the building following Covid safety protocols. Onsite volunteers should be a minimum of 14 years old.
