Volunteer

YOU can help end hunger in our community by volunteering for the Dedham Food Pantry! If you have two or more hours to spare, please consider joining our team. Volunteers under 16 years of age must be accompanied by an adult.

Please check out the tasks below, find an opportunity that interests you, and register online.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us.
