    Description

    Help us Sort through Donations - Food bank sorting volunteers needed!

    Help ensure food security for your neighbors by volunteering with North Helpline Emergency Services and Food Bank!

    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 4 to 5 other volunteers as we sift through items. We keep volunteer crews small to help with social distancing but that means we count on everyone to show up for their shift and be on time.

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

    • Tuesday to Thursday 9:00 am to 1:00 pm
    • Friday and Saturday from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm

    Interested in working with us? Please email volunteers@northhelpline.org or call us at (206) 413-8271 for more information. We hope to hear from you soon!

    2 shifts available:

    • Tuesday to Thursday schedule: 09:00 to 13:00 PST
    • Friday and Saturday schedule: 10:00 to 14:00 PST
