VEAP

Access to healthy food, social services and housing stability

We need YOU! Support your neighbors today with VEAP.

Looking for a way to support your community during these uncertain times? Now more than ever, you can make a difference! We 100% depend on our volunteers in everything that we do. If you’re healthy, not currently in a high-risk category, and are motivated to serve then join us today in keeping food on our community’s tables.

Our opportunities:

  • Comply with the Minnesota Department of Health’s (MDH) current guidelines. We’ve changed our model to ensure public health and safety for all involved. To learn more about these changes, click here.
  • Welcome everyone. Kids ages 9-11 are welcome to apply, but must be accompanied by an adult. Youth 12+ are able to volunteer independently.
  • Don’t require experience. We’ll provide all necessary training, and make sure you feel confident while serving with us.
  • Are fun! With our current model, our opportunities include sorting and bagging food, filling visitor orders, delivering food packs to seniors, and more.
Get started today!

Our Fast Track application allows you to get started as soon as you’re able. Opportunities through this application are only within our Food Pantry. If you are 17 or younger, please fill out our youth application.

“I live in Bloomington, and don’t like the idea that any of my neighbors struggle getting enough food, specifically healthy food, to eat.  It doesn’t get more basic than food, and I appreciate the opportunity to support my community, and my fellow citizens.”
