Every year, Catholic Charities serves over one million healthy meals and snacks and provides supplies to nearly 20,000 people most in need in our community. At the Catholic Charities Distribution Center (CCDC), we receive large donations of food and other new and unused clothing and household, personal care and supplies that are distributed to our client programs and 11 food service sites throughout the Twin Cities.
- We are in need of volunteers to assist with sorting and packing non-food donations, sorting and storing large quantities of food as well as helping with composting and recycling tasks, processing sizeable amounts of fresh fruits and vegetables, making sandwiches and/or other food service preparations
- Because of safety and insurance requirements and restrictions, volunteers must be at least 14 years old - there are no exceptions to this rule - also, children ages 14 to 18 must be accompanied and supervised by adult volunteers
- No special skills are required for this opportunity and you will receive on the job training by Catholic Charities staff
- Our distribution center is located just outside of downtown St. Paul and just east of lower-town and we have parking spots in our lot and on Chester Street
- We receive donations each business day resulting in much needed help - we would love to have you join us!
