Let's spend a few hours as a group sorting and packing at the Food Depot warehouse in Santa Fe.
Our previous times volunteering at the warehouse has been so much fun so lets do it again!
IMPORTANT: This is one of the few events we really need to have a good understanding of headcount a few days before the event date so
please make sure to update your status as the FoodDepot counts on us to make a difference and there are limited space!

No open food or drinks are allowed in volunteer spaces.
Snack breaks can be taken in the lobby. There will be coffee and snacks at our warehouse for volunteers.
We ask you not climb or operate any heavy equipment such as pallet jacks and forklifts. When pallet jacks are being used in volunteer spaces we will ask you to leave the room for your safety and others around you. Please do not walk in front or around a pallet jack when a staff member is using it. When safety tape is pulled out from the wall we ask you not to cross and enter into our warehouse.
No volunteers in the room when pallets are being moved.
Moving pallets can be dangerous, so only authorized personnel should handle them. Please make sure to stay clear of pallet-moving activities at all times.
No picking up a pallet. Ask staff to assist.
For your safety, volunteers should never enter the warehouse area without a staff member present. There are potential hazards in this space that are better managed with proper guidance.
We’re all in this together. The safety of each volunteer, staff member, and the organization as a whole depends on our collective commitment to following safety procedures.
