Roll up your sleeves and get ready to join us in the warehouse! Our Food Sorting Team is looking for enthusiastic individuals to work alongside them as we sort through donated products from retail stores and food drives.

Serving in our food sorting operation gives you a unique opportunity to directly impact the lives of our neighbors. You will help ensure that our partner agencies receive safe, healthy products to distribute to our neighbors who may need a little extra support these days. Across our 18-county service area, we have over 500 partner agencies, which are organizations like pantries, soup kitchens, and shelters. Our warehouse moves about 35-40 tons of food per day, and we need volunteers like you to ensure that movement!

You will inspect, sort, and box up food and household products. On some days we also offer egg grading/ inspecting. You will be provided with gloves and aprons as you inspect and repackage viable donated eggs. Tasks vary during and between shifts. No warehouse or egg grading experience or expertise required. Please note that somedays we do not have eggs available, and you may be reassigned to another volunteer area.

Requirements:

  • Assembling; Lifting; Standing; Bending; Stooping; Working in a High-Speed Environment; Reading Small Print.
  • Closed toe, non-slip shoes are required - tennis shoes with rubber soles are fine.
  • Comfortable clothing (t-shirts and jeans are fine)
  • No tank tops or crop tops
  • Shorts must be at an appropriate length
  • Clothing should be without offensive language or inappropriate designs
  • No food or open drink containers allowed.

Volunteers must be at least:

  • 12 years old; anyone between ages 12 - 15 must be accompanied by an adult and there must be a ratio of 1 adult to 5 youth between the ages of 12 - 15.
  • 16+ years old may volunteer alone.
  • Volunteer information forms for youth under age 18 must be signed by a parent.

Shifts are Monday-Friday, 9am-1pm or 2pm-4pm, except on Holidays. You must arrive 15 minutes prior to your shift to check in with the front desk; those arriving 15+ minutes late will not be able to serve. If you will need proof of your hours, you must let the front desk know.

About Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest North Carolina

Location:

3330 Shorefair Dr, Winston-Salem, NC 27105, US

Mission Statement

With our community and partners, we will increase food security and create pathways that build a stronger Northwest North Carolina.

Description

Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest NC is the regional food bank and Feeding America affiliate for 18 counties in Northwest North Carolina, from Boone to Burlington, north to the Virginia line and south to Davie and Davidson. Working with our community and partners, we strive to increase food security and create
pathways that build a stronger region, toward a vision of food secure and healthy communities. We believe that access to food is a right - the foundation
each of us needs to live our best life and for our communities to thrive.
EVERYONE DESERVES TO EAT.

Supporting our region’s food assistance network is the core of our work at Second Harvest. We partner with farmers, food manufacturers, retail grocers, and the community (food drives) to serve as the primary source of food for a network of nearly 500 local food assistance programs (pantries, community kitchens, shelters, and meals programs for children and seniors) serving communities across Northwest North Carolina. Surrounding these efforts is our work to address food insecurity at the root, including workforce development, partnerships with health systems and schools, nutrition education, public policy advocacy, and more.
