About FareStart:
FareStart is a nonprofit, social entrepreneurial organization in Seattle that operates a job placement and training program benefitting homeless and disadvantaged men, women and youth. Our Community Meals program incorporates recovered food into roughly 800 nutritious meals a day, 365 days a year, serving several area emergency and transitional facilities.
Help the Food Recovery program process weekly donations by sorting, weighing, recording and storing donated food in the Community Meals Kitchen. We are looking for a volunteer to commit to a recurring role, every other Friday from 12:30 to 2:30. Volunteers play a key role in maintaining the organization and success of the Food Recovery program.

Description
WHO WE ARE
FareStart has been helping people transform their lives through food for 30 years - one person, one job and one community at a time.
People experiencing poverty struggle to escape the cycle they are in and often face other compounding barriers to getting and keeping a job. At FareStart, we help people overcome barriers by teaching work and life skills needed to succeed in employment and in life. By investing in people, providing meals and building community, we transform homelessness, hunger and poverty into human potential.
