    Description

    Food Bank - Produce Receiving

    Produce receiving requires sorting through boxes of mixed product that has come in from various grocery stores. Items are inspected for quality and sorted by type into crates for later distribution. This volunteer will need to be able to lift up to 40 lbs. and be able to be on their feet and walking for 3-4 hours (depending on the day you serve). Because the food bank temperature can vary due to open doors, we recommend that the volunteer dress in layers and wear comfortable shoes.

    We would like all our volunteers to:

    • Work as part of a team and maintain a positive attitude and a spirit to serve others.
    • Have customer service skills to work with donors and clients.
    • Attention to detail to ensure the safety of self and others.
    • Willingness to work with other team members to achieve desired outputs.
