Food Sorting or Packing Food Boxes

What to Expect:

For our Food Sorting or Packing Food Boxes volunteer opportunity, you'll help us inspect and sort through donated dry goods, meat, or produce before they get distributed to our neighbors in need. You also might help with our Snack Pack program, in which you will pack bags of nutritionally dense, delicious, and easy-to-prepare meal options for children in public schools. Snack Packs are intended to be take-home bags during the weekends and breaks, where they will otherwise be missing the meals provided at school. The type of project is decided on by the needs of the food bank.
