Case Study: Rhode Island Community Food Bank streamlines volunteer management and turns volunteers into donors with VolunteerHub

Feeding America Food Bank Loves VolunteerHub + Raiser's Edge

Rhode Island Community Food Bank, the only food bank in Rhode Island and part of the Feeding America network, needed a better way to manage its volunteer program. Before using VolunteerHub, the team relied on spreadsheets, email, and a shared calendar to schedule and track volunteers, which created too much manual work and back-and-forth communication.

VolunteerHub implemented a centralized volunteer management system integrated with Raiser’s Edge, allowing the food bank to automate scheduling, streamline volunteer recruiting and engagement, and sync data easily for donor conversion. The results included major time savings, smoother management of about 1,700 volunteers each year, and improved support for special projects like Brown University’s hunger survey, with the integration helping turn volunteers into donors.
