Every small action adds up to something extraordinary. This year, let’s work together to make sure no one in our community goes hungry.
Ways to Get Involved
There are so many ways to support Narberth Community food Bank Here are four impactful opportunities to make a difference in 2025:
1. Volunteer Your Time
Volunteering is one of the most rewarding ways to get involved. Whether you have an hour a week or a day each month, every bit of time makes a difference. Volunteers help with:
- Sorting and organizing food donations.
- Packing and distributing meals to families.
- Assisting with special events or food drives.
- Helping with behind-the-scenes pantry logistics.
Volunteering is flexible and open to individuals, families, and even groups like local businesses, clubs, or schools. As one of our long-time volunteers shared: “I didn’t realize how easy it was to help. Just a few hours of my time helped provide meals for dozens of families. Seeing the smiles made it all worth it.”

- Monthly donations allow us to plan ahead, meet unexpected needs, and provide consistent support year-round.
Consider setting up a recurring monthly gift. It’s easy, budget-friendly, and helps us sustain our work throughout the year. As one donor shared: “I know my small monthly donation is helping families every month. This makes me feel like I’m truly making a difference.”
