Volunteer With Us!

To remain in good standing as a volunteer and to participate in our volunteer monthly giveaways and recognition event every April, volunteer requirements must be completed once a year. You’ll receive a reminder one month before renewal date.

Required for All Volunteers:

• 9 min – Trauma-Informed Care video

• 20 min – Civil Rights video

• 16 min – Food Safety video‍ (please watch this if you don’t have a food handlers card)

• 3 min – Anti-Discrimination Policy

• 3 min – Code of Conduct Policy

• 2 min – Policy & Training Acknowledgement

• 2 min – Liability Waiver and Release of Claims/Photo & Video Release Waiver

Specific Role Requirements:

• 10-30 min – Food Handlers Card (only required for Head Chefs and Front-of-House Leads every 3 years. Email card to Diane Longaker, Executive Director)

• 3 min – Front-of-House Guidelines (for any front-of-house position)

• 3 min – Kitchen Safety Policy (for any kitchen or back-of-house position)

• What if I need help at breakfast service? There will always be at least one SMB staff or board member present. You can also talk with Front-of-House or Back-of-House volunteers.

• What if I need to cancel after signing up? Volunteers can cancel or update their sign-up information themselves. Please cancel if you cannot join us so the role can be filled prior to Saturday.

• How old do I need to be to volunteer? All volunteers must be at least 14 years old. Volunteers under 16 years old need to be accompanied by a parent or guardian, and 16- and 17-year-olds can volunteer on their own with parental permission by having a parent or guardian sign the Liability Waiver located in the volunteer requirements below.

• Is there a deadline to volunteer each week? Yes, please sign up to volunteer by 9AM Thursday before the Saturday you’d like to serve. If it’s after Thursday at 9AM, please contact Diane (Executive Director) at 971-261-0948.

SMB Volunteer Positions & Descriptions »

We love welcoming volunteer groups from local schools, organizations, and Saturday Sponsors to help feed our community. To ensure a safe, accountable, and positive experience for everyone, all group volunteers are required to complete the same volunteer requirements and instructions as individual volunteers.

Important Info for Volunteer Groups:

• We accept groups of 6-8 volunteers per breakfast service.

• Each volunteer is REQUIRED to sign up individually, even when volunteering as part of a group. We need to be able to see volunteer names prior to service to track attendance, prepare roles, and ensure compliance.

• If group volunteers cannot sign themselves up, the group leader can submit a roster by the Monday before they volunteer with names and positions.

How It Works

1. Each group member signs themselves up for their shift individually using the link below.

2. All required training listed above must be completed prior to the shift.

Thank you for helping us create a safe, welcoming, and well-organized Saturday morning for our community!
