Each day, hunger is experienced in every community across this country.  In fact, our network feeds over 37 million neighbors each year.  Ending hunger in America depends on the volunteer work of literally millions of Americans who know that they can make a difference. There are as many different ways to volunteer, as there are individuals and communities across this country. ![food banks](https://www.brooklinemoving.com/hs-fs/file-13452746-jpg/images/food-banks.jpg?width=272&height=204&name=food-banks.jpg) **On-going Volunteer Efforts** You can help out in your local community through activities such as: - tutoring kids at your local Kids Cafe - repackaging donated food for use at food pantries - transporting food to charitable agencies - clerical work at the National Office It’s simple - get involved today - and get your family and friends involved.  To find opportunities in your area, please contact your [local food bank](http://feedingamerica.org/foodbank-results.aspx). **Disaster Response Volunteers** Volunteers are needed across the country to support our network's commitment to the survivors of disaster-affected communities. You can help out in your local community through activities such as sorting, boxing and repackaging donated food to be directed where it's needed most.  Addressing the needs of displaced survivors will be critical over the next several months.   Contact your [Feeding America network member](http://feedingamerica.org/foodbank-results.aspx) to see how your help is needed. 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://www.brooklinemoving.com/movers-blog/bid/72571/Holiday-Volunteering-Volunteer-during-holidays#comments-listing) Topics: [holidays](https://www.brooklinemoving.com/movers-blog/topic/holidays), [volunteering](https://www.brooklinemoving.com/movers-blog/topic/volunteering) [All posts](https://www.brooklinemoving.com/movers-blog/all) ### Subscribe via E-mail ### Latest Posts ### Follow Me [HOME](https://www.brooklinemoving.com/) | [SERVICES](https://www.brooklinemoving.com/services/) | [MOVE PLANNING](https://www.brooklinemoving.com/move-planning/) | [RELATED SERVICES](https://www.brooklinemoving.com/related-services/) | [ABOUT US](https://www.brooklinemoving.com/about-us/) | [REVIEWS](https://www.brooklinemoving.com/moving-company-reviews/) | [MOVING BLOG](https://www.brooklinemoving.com/movers-blog/) [Terms and conditions](https://www.brooklinemoving.com/termsofuse) | [Privacy Policy](https://www.brooklinemoving.com/privacy) | [Sitemap](https://www.brooklinemoving.com/Sitemap) © 2014 Brookline Moving Company.
