Opportunity Details

Sign up warehouse re-pack.

This is a great opportunity to cultivate service & compassion with friends and family. Volunteers work in our warehouse re-packaging produce & shelf stable items to be sent out to the community. Because the events take place on the weekends and there are no truck deliveries and less equipment moving, these events are more child friendly. Volunteers younger than 14 must be supervised by a parent/guardian. Brings friends, family, and even your music to help make it a fun & interactive experience.

Generally we were using the following guidelines:

The minimum age is 14. Please remember that the Food Bank is a warehouse and there is always warehouse equipment in operation. We are concerned about safety for everyone! Age exceptions may be made for youth, ages 10-14, working directly with their parent.
Youth ages 14 through 15 must be accompanied by one adult over the age of 21 for every five youth.
Volunteer groups with youth ages 16 through 17 must be accompanied by one adult over the age of 21 for every 10 youth.
Every youth volunteer must have a current signed permission slip on file and a parent permission form.
The dress code at the Food Bank is casual and comfortable. However, to ensure safety and sanitation standards are met, please follow the requirements listed below.
Please leave purses, jewelry, and other valuables at home or locked in your car trunk. Necklaces and long earrings pose a safety concern in the warehouse. Food Bank will not be responsible for any missing personal belongings.
Comfortable, safe footwear is absolutely required: sneakers, work shoes, or boots. Volunteers wearing high heels, open-toed shoes, or sandals will not be allowed to volunteer in the warehouse.
Long pants and shirts with sleeves (no tank tops or halter tops) are generally required.
Dress warmly in the winter — layers are suggested, as are jeans, sweatshirts, etc.
Dress lightly in the summer, be sure to bring layers in case work takes place in refrigerated or freezer units
