Food Pantry: Food Packer

Volunteers are needed to assist with sorting donated food items for the food pantry. Food items include dry goods, produce, breads and meat/poultry/seafood.

Help pack food for distribution to the clients on a day or days that the Food Pantry is operational (Monday through Thursday, 9:00 AM opening time until closing at 12:30 PM). This food is handed out to those in need from the food pantry each week.

Volunteers should have the ability to stand for the duration of food distribution, and be able to lift up to 20 lbs. A grocery cart is available to help with especially heavy bags or boxes.

Clients pull up curbside, and some volunteers are needed to bring bagged food from the pantry to the client's car or cart.

When food comes in from various sources, the packer would help carry it in, weigh it, unpack it and put it on the food shelves in the proper location.

The food packer will keep the shelves organized by label and follow the direction of the Pantry Manager.
