Team Sign-Ups

Any opportunity response greater than one is considered a Team.

Team names do not need to be tied to any official organization or group, they can be anything you want (e.g.: Food Bank Friends, Wong Family, etc.).

Making a Team Reservation

One individual volunteer (the Team Leader) will create and register for their team. To get started, you must have a volunteer account set up and if you do not have one yet, please create a new account. Then follow the steps below:  

  1. Log into your volunteer account.  
  2. To view our calendar of volunteer opportunities and what is available, click here. Teams are welcome in these Programs: 
  3. Select a shift time that fits your team → Respond as Team  
  4. Type your Team's name and click Add Me → make sure to assign yourself as a leader (you can add others as Team Leader too, it's ok to have more than one)
    • Adding a Team Leader will give you the ability to edit/manage your team after registering for a shift 
  5. If you would just like to reserve spots in the meantime (add team members later) make sure to select the ideal number of spots → the Reserve Additional Spots section → Continue 
  6. Confirm the shift date and time you originally selected → Finish  

 Congratulations!  You have made your reservation! Read more below to learn how to manage your Team.

Modifying Existing Team Reservation 

All team member names and emails must be added to the team reservation a week before the reserved shift date for a team reservation to be considered complete.   

Here is how you can edit your team reservation:  

  1. Click on your initials or photo in the top right corner. 
  2. On the drop-down menu→ My Team
  3. On the far right, under Options, click Manage Team
  4. Adding team members: 
    • Copy Join Link → Send the link to the additional team members via email 
    • The link will prompt them to join the team if they have an account. Or the link will prompt them to create an account and once they do, they must go back and use the join link (all volunteers must join their team to confirm their spot) 
    • Manually add team members→ Add Team Member, then enter their info, click “Submit Member” (you may need to scroll down). Repeat. 

Please do not "Add Default Hours", hours will be added when you check in.

Periodically go back to your My Team's Page to see who has joined your team.

For any questions you may have please do not hesitate to contact us at volunteer@sfmfoodbank.org

Some FAQs:

  • Can't find your Team after you created it?
    • Be sure you are logged into the correct account, some users have multiple accounts and one may not be set up as the Team Leader.
    • Be sure you are the Team Leader (if not, you won't be able to edit the Team)
