Volunteers move our mission. It’s all thanks to volunteers that CFBNJ is able to feed our New Jersey neighbors in need.
Our Hillside and Egg Harbor Township locations are open and welcoming volunteers- but our Hillside location is experiencing a shortage of volunteers. For those unable to come in, we’re offering a way that you can help make a difference: the CFBNJ Volunteer Ambassador Project– engaging volunteers to fight hunger with us virtually!
| What is the Volunteer Ambassador Project?
The Volunteer Ambassador Project is a way for you or someone you know to promote our work and support our operations and mission beyond the warehouse. Through various avenues of outreach, CFBNJ volunteer ambassadors recruit volunteers by utilizing their own social media platforms or personally reaching out to contacts or other individuals and groups (suggested list included in the tool-kit below) that might be interested in coming to volunteer for CFBNJ at either our Hillside or Egg Harbor Township warehouse.
|What do I need to do to be a Volunteer Ambassador?
After you follow us (@CFBNJ) on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and/or LinkedIn, we ask you to take two or more of the following actions:
All the graphics, captions, scripts, and information suggested for the actions are provided in the downloadable virtual Volunteer Ambassador toolkit (ZIP file).
