Food Sorting Volunteer

Sorting Procedures:

• Produce Boxes are to be brought in between the tables with unsorted produce boxes stacked underneath.
• Volunteers are to open boxes and sort through all produce for freshness (discard any moldy or squishy food), and by type:
  • Fruit - Apples w/Apples, Oranges w/Oranges, Mixed Fruit
  • Vegetables - Sort by type when possible (peppers, eggplant, etc…)
  • Dairy & Eggs
  • Frozen / Meat
  • Baked Goods - Separate by Sweet & Savory
  • Deli - Ready to eat foods
  • Canned Goods
  • Dry 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.
