Meaningful Work. A Capable Team. A Stronger Community.

At the Leesburg Foodbank, we believe that no one in our community should go hungry. As a volunteer-managed and operated 501(c)(3) organization, we are the engine that keeps our neighbors fed.

When you volunteer with us, you aren't just filling a shift—you are part of a focused, compassionate, and highly effective team dedicated to serving Leesburg and the surrounding communities.

Our Impact

Thanks to the tireless efforts of our volunteers, we are able to operate 52 weeks a year, distributing food three mornings a week.

• Serving Families: We provide essential groceries to over 8,000 families every year.
• Fueling Students: Through our partnership with the Leesburg School District, we provide weekend meals to 350 students throughout the school year, ensuring they have the nutrition they need to succeed when school is out.

Operational Volunteer Roles

We have a role for everyone. Whether you enjoy physical activity, organizational tasks, or working directly with people, we need your help. You can join us for one morning a week or commit to all three—we value whatever time you can give.

What You Might Do:

• Sorting & Rotating: Sort donations from individuals and community drives, and rotate inventory to ensure zero food waste.
• Basket Assembly: Create shopping baskets tailored to the specific size and dietary needs of each family.
• Client Interviews: Sit down with families to understand their specific needs and preferences, ensuring they receive the help that serves them best.

Physical Requirements:
Roles range from stationary tasks to active movement.

• Stationary: Seated or standing roles (Interviewing, some sorting).
• Light Activity: Involves 20–30 steps of movement carrying light weight.
• Heavy Activity: Some roles involve lifting 30 to 50 pounds (Team efforts are encouraged!).

🚨 IMMEDIATE NEED: Monday Morning Team 🚨

We are currently seeking 3 individuals to assist with shopping basket assembly.

• When: Mondays, 7:30 AM – Noon.
• Activity Level: Moderate. This role involves walking 15–20 steps while carrying 5–10 pounds.
• No snow birds at this time please

Leadership Opportunities: Guide Our Future

The Leesburg Foodbank is not a "fixer-upper" situation. We are a stable, debt-free organization with a 10,000-square-foot distribution center, a fleet of vehicles, and over 200 local supporters. We are looking for leaders to "maintain course" and strategically plan for the future.

Executive Director

After two decades of incredible service, our current Executive Director is retiring. We are searching for a new leader to take the helm of this well-oiled machine.

• The Role: You will oversee operations and serve as the face of the Foodbank. This role requires strong people skills to interact with our donors, volunteers, and clients, as well as management skills to oversee general operations.
• The Support: You will not be alone. We are fortunate to have an experienced Operations Manager and a solid Financial Manager already in place. Your job is to lead a team that is already efficient and effective.

Board of Directors

We are looking to strengthen our Board with individuals who possess specific professional expertise to ensure the long-term health of the charity.

• We are seeking experience in: Finance, Law, Non-Profit Administration, and Volunteer Management.

Join Our Team

Volunteering at the Leesburg Foodbank is an opportunity to do something truly meaningful. Whether you are packing a basket for a hungry student or sitting on the Board to guide our financial future, you are making Leesburg community a better place to live.
