Join us in becoming the core of what we do! We're seeking enthusiastic individuals to play a vital role in the packaging of the amazing food provided by our donors. This work ensures that every container you fill becomes a nourishment for one of our community members. Step into this vital role and help us make a tangible impact.
If you are interested in food packaging, send us a message at volunteer@foodrescue.org and we’ll get you started.
In order to help with food packaging you will take about 1 and 1/2 hours on an online training and quick test on food safety and then you can sign up to help for a 2 hour shift.
