Help us create food boxes for low-income seniors!
This volunteer opportunity supports the nearly 4,600 food boxes needed each month for low-income seniors in Kentuckiana. Volunteers work on an assembly line to place food items into boxes through the Commodity Supplemental Food Program.
What to expect:
- Closed toe shoes are required.
- Volunteers will be on their feet standing, though accommodations can be made.
- Light lifting (about 35lbs) will be required from 1-2 volunteers
Additional Information:
- The warehouse is frequently busy with the sounds of forklifts and pallet jacks moving throughout the space, and the occasional beeps of equipment.
- Various pieces of equipment, such as forklifts, pallet jacks, and shelving units, are stationed throughout the warehouse. Caution is advised around moving equipment.
- Volunteers and staff often communicate over the noise, so there might be raised voices.
- The space is well-lit with overhead lighting, but some areas may have varying levels of brightness.
