At the Sort, Pack, Stack volunteers sort through food donations, separate the food into categories, check for damage, and pack it up to go out to Pierce County food banks. Once the food is packed up it’s ready for distribution to our neighbors in need.

Volunteers will need to be able to lift up to 40 pounds and be able to bend over to get cans of food out of bins. The minimum age to volunteer at the Sort, Pack, Stack is 18. Space is limited and registration is required.

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!"
