Volunteers at Emergency Food Network's Repack Project help repackage bulk foods into smaller, family-size portions to be distributed to 60 food banks, meal sites, and shelters in Pierce County.
No experience necessary. EFN staff are on site to provide training and supervision. Repack Projects are scheduled periodically on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday with morning and afternoon sessions available. Space is limited to 15 and there is a minimum age of 15 to volunteer. Registration is required. See the up-to-date EFN event calendar at efoodnet.org.

Mission Statement
The mission of Emergency Food Network is "to provide Pierce County with a consistent, diverse and nutritious food supply so that no person goes hungry."
Description
"Currently, 1 in 10 people in Pierce County face food insecurity, and this need is continuing to rise. Through our 75+ Partner Programs (food pantries, meal sites, and shelters) all over Pierce County, EFN distributed over 14 million pounds of food in 2023 to our neighbors in need, including fresh produce grown at EFN’s Mother Earth Farm. This work was made possible by our 2,000+ volunteers, who worked over 12,000 hours in 2023. Volunteer work is vital in helping EFN pursue our mission of ensuring no person goes hungry. Volunteer opportunities include the Repack Project, Home Delivery, EFN’s Mother Earth Farm, and special events throughout the year. We hope you will join us!"
