Running late? If you are 10+ minutes late, you will not be able to volunteer. Need to cancel, here is how you can cancel? We appreciate you canceling your registration in a timely manner so we may offer the slots to other volunteers.
Safety: We invite volunteers into our facility to help fight hunger and it is important that we maintain a safe environment. Volunteers are expected to comply with all rules, follow the directions given by station leaders, and immediately report any accidents to a staff member.
Accommodation Needs: This opportunity includes standing, bending, and sitting. Please let us know if you have accommodation needs.
Tracking Hours: Any volunteer (youth or adult) needing to track hours for employer matches, school, scholarships, scouts, etc. must create their own account, sign up, and check in for every shift with a staff member. If you are not in our system, we cannot verify hours. If you check in through the Galaxy site or add your own hours, they will not be approved. By checking in with a staff member your hours will be entered in automatically. In addition to tracking hours in our online system, you may ask the receptionist for a North Texas Food Bank Hour Verification Form after the shift. Our policy is to not sign any court-appointed service documents including time sheets.
