Event Volunteer Opportunities

Turkey Trot

Join us Thanksgiving morning, November 27, 2025

We love our Turkey Trot volunteers! Join us again this year to support an epic event that brings the community together in the spirit of gratitude and action. We have a wide variety of volunteer opportunities, including many roles for families and young people. It takes nearly 200 volunteers to make this day run smoothly, and we want YOU to be a part of the fun! 

Sign up here!

Additional opportunities available leading up to the event.

Flyer Distribution

Flexible volunteer opportunity! You can complete this on your own time before 11/10/25. 

Goal: Spread the word about Turkey Trot! Visit local businesses in a specific neighborhood, asking if we can hang up a Turkey Trot poster and/or leave flyers for people to take as they visit the businesses.

Who can do this? Anyone, so long as you can get transportation to IFCB and to your assigned area. You can sign up as an individual or as a group. Great opportunity for high schoolers or families. 

What does flyer distribution include?

  1. Individuals or small groups can sign up to distribute flyers.

  2. Shortly after you've signed up, IFCB staff will reach out to you to share the specific area that we need coverage and tips for success.

  3. You will come get all the materials you need for this project from the Issaquah Food & Clothing Bank (including posters, flyers, tape, instructions, etc.).

  4. We ask that you go door-to-door to the businesses and establishments in your assigned area and ask if you can put up a poster or leave a stack of flyers advertising the Issaquah Turkey Trot event.

  5. Once your area has been covered, any leftover materials will be returned to the food bank.

Reach out to Hannah, our Communications and Grants Manager, with any questions at hannah@issaquahfoodbank.org.

Holiday Gifts

Join us on December 5th & 6th

Volunteers are invited to help us spread holiday cheer this year! We are collecting $25 gift cards through November 14th with the goal of providing $75 in gift cards for each child in a family, which can bring a child's specific wish to life and give parents or guardians the joy of selecting the perfect gift for each of their children. 

Volunteers play an important role in making the magic come to life! We would love for you to join us on December 5th & 6th.
