When food arrives at the Marion Polk Food Share warehouse, it needs to be sorted and repacked before it can be distributed to our network of community partners. The Food Share relies on volunteers to complete scheduled projects, so we really appreciate it when people can contribute their time! In the Volunteer Action Center, volunteers are typically repacking bulk food donations into family-sized portions to be distributed to the community. Volunteers also might help with sorting food donations by category of food and expiration date to ensure we are only distributing quality foods to our neighbors.
Scheduling details: Open to groups of 2–20 participants. Schedule large groups at least three weeks in advance.
For food safety and general safety requirements, volunteers must wear closed-toe and closed-heel shoes, and shirts with sleeves (long or short sleeves are fine – no tank tops). We also ask that volunteers remove all removable jewelry, watches, and earbuds before volunteering to keep the food we are repacking safe for our neighbors. (Flat ring bands are fine but any ring that could tear through a vinyl glove should be removed.)
For general safety in the warehouse, any volunteer under the age of 16 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian (18 years or older) while they volunteer. Youth groups should be accompanied by adult chaperones.
All volunteers are required to maintain a professional and positive environment. This includes language, gestures, clothing, and topics of conversation that are inconsiderate or disrespectful of others. Some projects may require volunteers to wear hair nets, aprons, gloves (provided by the Food Share). Some tasks may include bending, moving, and lifting up to 40 pounds.
