donating your time

Without volunteers working hand-in-hand with Alliance staff and members, reaching our goals would be much harder or even impossible. Non-profits, such as the Alliance, rely on the selflessness of volunteers who give so generously of their time and resources. We welcome your assistance, strengths and dedication in our fight against hunger.

Want to help?

Though the Alliance relies on our volunteers to support our work, in-person volunteer opportunities are currently limited in order to follow CDC safety guidelines for the COVID-19 pandemic.

To place your name on our volunteer list, send us an email with VOLUNTEER in the subject line. Include your name, contact information and email address. We’ll let you know about opportunities that arise.

Become a cook matters volunteer

Because we conduct classes and grocery tours in cities and towns around Arkansas, local volunteers are critical to the success of our Cooking Matters and Cooking Matters at the Store programs and to reducing food insecurity in our state. We need committed, caring folks like you to help so we can spread the message of Cooking Matters across the state! Please fill out the Volunteer Application (it will not take more than 5-10 minutes, we promise!). After you submit it, we will reach out with some specific ways you can get involved!

arkansas gleaning project

Farmers allow us to go into their fields along with our gleaning partners and volunteers to pick fresh produce that remains after the harvest. The produce we harvest goes to one or more of our Feeding America member food banks for distribution to food pantries and other hunger relief organizations.

To be a Gleaning Volunteer, email Brandon Chapman at bchapman@arhungeralliance.org. Be sure to put VOLUNTEER in the subject line, and we will add you to our Gleaning Volunteer list. You’ll receive email notices of upcoming gleaning opportunities.
