Food Bank Sorting volunteers needed!

Get Connected Icon Get Connected Icon ongoing

Description

Help ensure food security for your neighbors by volunteering with North Helpline's food banks in Lake City and Bitter Lake!

Everyday we get wonderful donations from local stores, pea patches, and individual donors. Help us ensure we are only distributing food that we would pick up ourselves! 

Volunteers are needed to inspect the quality of food coming in from donations and partner organizations. You can expect to work with 3-4 other volunteers as we sort through items, and will often need to lift crates of up to 30 lbs.

We have food bank receiving and sorting opportunities throughout the week including:

  • Lake City: Tuesday to Saturday (Except Friday) 9 AM to 1 PM
  • Lake City: Friday 10 AM to 2 PM
  • Bitter Lake: Thursday 10 AM to 2 PM

Interested in working with us? Click the "Respond" button and we will follow up with you. We hope to hear from you soon!

A couple extra points:
  • We require all volunteers scheduled to work on-site to be fully vaccinated against Covid-19 and present proof of vaccination before they start their shift. If you have questions regarding this, feel free to email or message us. 
  • Please wear season-appropriate clothing as our warehouse is not a climate-controlled environment. Closed-toe shoes are required.
