CAPSBC Food Bank Volunteer
The CAPSBC Food Bank is proud of its loyal volunteer force estimated at some 1500 plus. These committed individuals make it possible for us to reach thousands of hungry persons each month. A majority of our volunteers are community minded retired persons who, after working hard all of their lives, have dedicated their newfound time and resources giving back to the community. Our volunteers help in a wide variety of cities and locations. From the large Community Centers located in the big cities of the Inland Empire, to the tiny schoolhouses located on dusty back roads in the Mojave Desert, all of our volunteers work together to assist the CAPSBC Food Bank in feeding the needy people of the Inland Empire. How They Help A majority of our volunteers work at one of our many affiliated non-profit agencies, that are located within the volunteer’s immediate area, such as their local community center, senior center, school or religious institution. The volunteers who work at the food giveaways provide a variety of services such as screening clients, unloading trucks, packing bags, and passing out the food. Would You Like to Help? You can volunteer virtually anywhere in San Bernardino County. Simply contact the coordinator at the site that you are interested in (see our Food/Feeding Sites) or submit the Volunteer form below and the Food Bank will contact you.









VITA Site Volunteers Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) sites prepare and submit income taxes to the Internal Revenue Service and State of California Franchise Tax Board free of charge to the public. CAPSBC operates several VITA sites in the County of San Bernardino in partnership with the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP). VITA sites open each year in January and remain open throughout tax season, culminating on April 15th. How They Help Volunteers begin training in November for the upcoming tax season, learning how to use the tax preparation software and the many guidelines they must follow to protect the confidentiality of the financial records for their clients. Once trained, VITA volunteers are able to help clients maximize their tax refunds. Volunteers must volunteer a minimum of 24 hours at a designated VITA site. Would You Like to Help?

Volunteer Spotlight

Many of the CAPSBC Food Bank’s volunteer’s are not unlike Mr. Charles Lewis, who at 83 years of age, continues to work hard at the CAPSBC Food Bank warehouse. “Charlie” started volunteering with CAPSBC in 1985, just one year after retiring from Kaiser Steel Corporation with forty years of service. The CAPSBC Food Bank is proud of Mr. Lewis and the hundreds of unnamed volunteers who work tirelessly assisting us in our endeavor to provide food to needy persons throughout the Inland Empire.
