Sound familiar?

What we hear from volunteer coordinators before they switch to Vome.

Saturday has eleven slots and eight people.

Some shifts overflow while others run short, and nobody knows until the morning of.

Someone cancels at 9 on Friday night.

The coordinator finds out Saturday morning, or doesn't, and the shift runs short.

Corporate groups book through a long email chain.

Fifteen people for a morning means a spreadsheet, waivers by attachment and a lot of reply-all.

Questions food banks ask us

Straight answers about how Vome works for programs like yours.

Still have questions? Talk to our team

What happens when someone cancels last minute?
The next person on the waitlist is moved in automatically, and eligible volunteers can be notified that a spot opened. You don't have to do anything.
How do corporate groups book?
The group leader reserves for their party. You choose the size limit, whether guest details are needed, and whether waivers come from the leader, each guest or both.
Can we report meals packed, not just hours?
Yes. After each shift, volunteers answer a short form you design, and the numbers add up on your dashboard.
Do volunteers need an app?
No. They can book on the web or in the Vome app, and check in at a kiosk on site without a phone.

Several warehouses, or a network of partner and member agencies? Give each its own site and coordinators, with central reporting, on Enterprise.
