Important Guidelines for Court-Mandated Volunteers
- Pre-approval is required – All court-mandated volunteers must be pre-approved before signing up for shifts. Walk-ins are not permitted.
- Attendance matters – If you cannot attend a scheduled shift, please cancel at least 24 hours in advance to allow another volunteer to take your place. Many of our volunteer events have waitlists. A cancellation link is provided in your confirmation email.
- No-shows – If you miss more than two scheduled shifts without notice, you will not be allowed to complete your service hours with Food Bank of Alaska.
- Age requirement – Volunteers must be at least 16 years old to participate.
- Follow all safety and training procedures – All volunteers must adhere to safety guidelines and workplace conduct policies.
- Bring any required paperwork – If you have forms that need a signature from Food Bank of Alaska staff, bring them with you.
- Maintain professionalism – Use respectful language and behavior at all times.

- Turn away or dismiss any court-mandated volunteer who does not follow safety procedures, guidelines, or dress code.
