Q: Do I need to sign up in advance?
A: Yes, volunteers must schedule their time. They cannot volunteer without

scheduling in advance – we schedule activities and staff based on the number of

volunteers coming in.

Q: How do I schedule myself or a group to volunteer?
A: Contact the volunteer coordinator at (302) 292-1305 ext 215 or volunteer@fbd.org.

Please include the date and time you are interested in coming in and how many

people are in your group. The coordinator will respond to your request within 48

hours.

Q: Can my child volunteer?
A: Yes, we encourage children to participate. Minimum ages vary by task.

Q: What do I do if I need to cancel?
A: We understand that things come up that require you to cancel. Please call the volunteer coordinator as soon as possible to cancel and reschedule. This is especially important if a large group is expected.

Q: Am I required to make a long-term commitment?
A: Your commitment depends on the activity or project you undertake. We do not need an ongoing commitment for sorting donated groceries, repacking food or participating in our Child and Adult Care Food Program or Summer Feeding Program.

Q: Where are you located?
A: We have two locations – In New Castle County we are located at 14 Garfield Way in Newark and in Kent and Sussex Counties we are located at 1040 Mattlind Way in Milford.
