    Description

    Bag Floppers/Sorters

    This is a volunteer opportunity, not a paid position.

    This volunteer opportunity is NOT eligible for court-ordered service.

    VISTE needs volunteers to help sort bags for their warehouse. The warehouse uses these bags to fill with donated food items to give to seniors in need. Volunteers will pick up bags and an empty box from VISTE and bring them home or to a comfortable location. Volunteers will check the bags for holes, cleanliness, and durability. Any bags that will not be a good fit can be recycled. The good bags should be flattened and placed into the box by color. After completing the given bags you can return for more or simply drop off the box back to VISTE.
