The Food Bank Network of Somerset County needs warehouse help! We have a large warehouse where we receive donations and stock our food pantries around Somerset County. We need people who can lift 20-25lbs, who can take direction and are self-starters. Volunteers may unload vans, sort donations, sort and clean produce, stock pantries, break down boxes, take out trash or other various warehouse related tasks.

We do not require volunteers to commit to a schedule. However, we have found it's mutually beneficial when volunteers are able to come in more than one day and for more than an hour.

Please note, you will need to attend an Orientation before your first volunteering shift.

If you're interested in volunteering, please fill out the volunteer application on our website at this link: Volunteer Application

About THE FOOD BANK NETWORK OF SOMERSET COUNTY INC

Middlebrook Crossroads Industrial Park, 7E Easy St, Bound Brook, NJ 08805, US

Mission Statement

The mission of The Food Bank Network is to distribute food and provide other basic human needs to those less fortunate in our community in a manner recognizing and advancing self-worth and human dignity. Working through our warehouse-pantry in Bridgewater and satellite food pantries, our goal is to help feed and provision people in need until they become self-sufficient. We aid any Somerset County residents requesting help who either find us directly or are referred by public and private county agencies. To do this, we have professional staff members, an unpaid board of directors, and countless volunteers across the county who give their time and donations to help us continue our work. The Food Bank Network is a non-governmental, non-sectarian, 501(c)(3) not-for-profit public benefit organization.

Description

The Food Bank Network has been helping out people in Somerset County, New Jersey since 1982. We give food and other important things to people who need them, and we do it in a way that shows we care about their self-respect and dignity.

We have our main pantry in Bridgewater, and we also have some smaller pantries around the county. In 2022, we had over 22,000 client visits! We don't just give out food though - we also have a program where we give backpacks and school supplies to kids, and we help families have a great holiday meal with our Adopt-a-Family Program.

We aid any Somerset County residents by utilizing a few professional staff members, an unpaid board of directors, and countless volunteers across the county who generously give their time and money. We do not receive governmental financial support.
