We are looking for volunteers to help clean the Healthy Harvest Mobile Market trailer.
The Healthy Harvest Mobile Market is a community collaboration among TriHealth, Impact 100 and the Freestore Foodbank. The Healthy Harvest Mobile Market launched in Spring 2016 to promote good nutrition and encourage healthy shopping. While our selection changes based on the season, some of our produce has included: cabbage, kale, chard, chives, cilantro, romaine lettuce, spinach, turnips, apples, grapes and bananas.
Volunteers are needed to prepare the HHMM truck on a monthly basis. Volunteers will assist with clean, stock and setup truck before it leaves for the market location.
Volunteers must be 18 years old or older.
The Freestore Foodbank must meet FDA safe food handling requirements and maintain OSHA standards. The following guidelines are in place to meet these requirements and to provide a safe, secure environment for our volunteers and staff.
Volunteer Activity:
Attire: Volunteers should wear casual, comfortable clothing that can get dirty. Since warehouse climate can be tricky, layers are recommended. For safety purposes, we cannot allow volunteers to wear open toed shoes, sandals, or loose jewelry/clothing. NO FLIP FLOPS ALLOWED.

Mission Statement
Freestore Foodbank’s mission is to improve lives by eliminating hunger in partnership with our community, and our vision is to create a hunger-free, healthy, and thriving community. To achieve this vision, our objectives are to provide nutritious food, connect to support services and offer a pathway from crisis to stability.
Description
For the last 50 years, we've grown from one man's passion for helping his neighbors into one of the region's largest food banks.
We distribute over 10 million pounds of food annually in 20 counties in Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana through a trusted network of over 400 local member agencies such as soup kitchens and shelters, food pantries, churches, daycare and senior centers, and many other community and social services organizations.
Unlike other food banks in the area, we operate a Client Services Center in Over-the-Rhine, which works to meet the needs of our community's most vulnerable citizens, including the homeless, the unemployed, the working poor, and families in crisis. By providing emergency food, we work to determine the root causes of poverty and food insecurity, and we are able to offer services aimed at creating self-reliance. When people come to us for food, we help them find the other things they may need -- a safe place to live, access to affordable healthcare, clothing or job skills and placement. For our work, food is not the end product, rather it is the beginning of a much larger conversation to help our community's citizens work toward self-reliance.
