Opportunity Details | Senior Box Build (Mon-Fri, mornings & afternoons)
Opportunity Name:
Senior Box Build (Mon-Fri, mornings & afternoons) |
|
Description:
Food Bank of Alaska works with volunteers in an assembly line to build and pack 2100 Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP) boxes each month. The CSFP works to improve the health of low-income persons at least 60 years of age by supplementing their diets with nutritious USDA Foods.
*Please Note: The assembly of the boxes will be a bit different from how we have been building boxes in the past with now up to 16 volunteers.
Upon arriving at Food Bank of Alaska, enter through the "Main Entrance" door. Please have a seat in our Kenai Conference room, immediately to your right and sign-in on the volunteer sheet. When all of the volunteers are present we will have a brief orientation and then go on into the warehouse to build senior boxes.
Please wear closed-toed shoes and bring clothing you can easily move around in (and layers during the winter months). Those wearing open toed shoes will be turned away. Volunteers should be able to be on their feet for the full shift. Some volunteers will be asked to bend and lift 25-35 pounds. Volunteers are encouraged to bring working gloves and a water bottle with a lid.
Please note that we cannot take volunteers who are under the age of 10 at this event.
We need a specific number of volunteers to ensure we are able to efficiently serve all clients so we request the following:
Media Policy Food Bank of Alaska reserves the right to film or photograph volunteer activities for its uses. If you prefer to not be filmed or photographed, please let us know at the start of your shift.
Volunteers are permitted to film or photograph themselves or group members, so long as it does not create a disruption or infringe upon the privacy of other volunteers. If you happen to photograph or video a volunteer not in your party, or a partner agency, please inform the Manager of Volunteer Resources for guidance before using media publicly.
We look forward to working with you! |
