Roll up your sleeves and get ready to join us in the warehouse! Our Greensboro Team is looking for enthusiastic individuals to work alongside them.

Serving in our food sorting operation gives you a unique opportunity to directly impact the lives of our neighbors. You will help ensure that our partner agencies receive safe, healthy products to distribute to our neighbors who may need a little extra support these days. Over our 18 county service area we have over 500 partner agencies which include organizations like pantries, soup kitchens, and shelters.

Activity Summary:

Volunteers will help sort and pack donated foods. These donations are received from grocery partners, food drives, and more. This food is then made available to our neighbors through our network of food assistance programs. Work may include assembling, lifting up to 30 pounds, standing, bending, stooping, reading small print, working in a high-speed environment.

Requirements:

• Closed-toe shoes required
• Dress comfortably (jeans and t-shirt are just fine). No tank tops or crop tops allowed. Clothing should be without offensive language or inappropriate designs.
