Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: Emergency Food Network

  • A group opportunity. Invite your friends.
  • 1 person is interested

Volunteers at Emergency Food Network's Repack Project help repackage bulk foods such as oats, rice, beans, and frozen corn into smaller, family-size portions. Once repacked the food is ready to be distributed to 70 food banks, meal sites, and shelters in Pierce County.

No experience necessary! EFN staff is on site to provide training and supervision. The minimum age to volunteer at the Repack Project is 16 (youth ages 14-15 can volunteer with a parent or guardian). Repack Projects are great for individuals and groups! Space is limited. Registration is required.

About Emergency Food Network

Location:

3318 92nd Street South, Lakewood, WA 98499, US

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!"
