Volunteer
"Volunteers do not necessarily have the time; they just have the heart." - Elizabeth Andrew
The Markham Food Bank is constantly in search of volunteers as we depend solely on volunteers for all aspects of our operations. We pride ourselves as we do not have any paid positions. All cash donations go directly towards maintenance, operating supplies and purchasing low-supply items for clients.
Student Volunteers
The Food Bank welcomes student volunteers looking to fulfill secondary school requirements (or to simply make a difference in their community!). Volunteers must be at least in Grade 9 and must reside in the Markham area.
Update March 2021: We are not accepting any applications for secondary school volunteers at this time.
If you are a secondary student looking to complete their community service hours, please visit https://volunteermarkham.ca/

Volunteer Notice
The Markham Food Bank relies on the hard work and dedication of our volunteers. Due to COVID-19, we are limiting the amount of volunteers onsite and preference will be given to individuals who can commit to volunteering at least one day a week for six months or more.
If you are interested in volunteering, please complete our online application.
At this time we are unable to accommodate high school students wanting to complete community service hours.
Please do not complete the application if you are in high school.
