Feeding Northeast Florida
What to Expect:
For this Food Sorting/Packing Food Boxes volunteer opportunity, we’ll help inspect and sort through donated dry goods, meat, or produce before they get distributed to our neighbors in need.
We may also help with the Snack Pack program, where we will pack bags of nutritionally dense, delicious, and easy-to-prepare meal options for children in public schools. These 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.
Qualifications
Ability to stand or walk for 2-3 hours at a time & ability to lift 10-30 pounds.
Attire
Please wear comfortable, weather-appropriate clothing as the warehouse is not climate controlled. Closed-toe/closed-heel shoes are required.
No crocs, flip-flops or sandals. No loose jewelry or headphones.
Please bring a jacket or sweatshirt for the possibility of bagging produce in the walk-in cooler.
