      • Fruit - Apples w/Apples, Oranges w/Oranges, Mixed Fruit
      • Vegetables - Sort by type when possible (peppers, eggplant, etc…)
      • Dairy & Eggs
      • Frozen / Meat

      • Canned Goods

      • Beverages
    • Any questions about where to put what, volunteers should ask LEAD.
    • After the box is filled with sorted produce, stack finished boxes at the end table.
    • Stack boxes by type.

    VOLUNTEER SHOPPING - Volunteers are welcome to “shop as they sort” with the understanding that their shopping doesn’t interfere with the sorting process.
