Looking for an opportunity with a great bunch of people, this is it!
You can come as a group and help unload the food trucks when they arrive. Located inside and away from the cold in the winter and the heat of the summer.
As you may not know, we are a food choice pantry and depend on donations that arrive on small and large trucks. We urgently need people who can lift up to approximately 60 lbs of food items from a truck into the warehouse.
Our Trucks arrive generally on Monday 1- 4 pm, Wednesday and Friday. 12-3 pm
You would be working with a group of volunteers that would be assisting with the same position.

About FISH & LOAVES
Location:
25670 NORTHLINE RD, TAYLOR, MI 48180, US
Mission Statement
Fish & Loaves is a 501(c)3, client-choice, food pantry, "Ensuring No One Goes Hungry" in the communities they serve. It is a faith based, non-sectarian organization staffed by volunteers serving those in need regardless of religious beliefs. Located in a 12,000 square-foot facility, the pantry currently serves residents of seven adjacent communities--Allen Park, Brownstown Township, Dearborn Heights, Romulus, Southgate, Taylor, and Woodhaven.
Description
Fish & Loaves Community Food Pantry was first launched by an ecumenical group of Taylor churches inspired by a miracle story from the gospels-Jesus feeding the multitudes with five barley loaves and two fish. Fish & Loaves’ own founding and growth has been miraculous. Some of the churches involved had their own emergency food pantries and others did not. However, they all united to ensure that families and individuals had access to more comprehensive and long-term food assistance in the face of tough times. The client-choice pantry is currently the largest facility of its kind in the Metro Detroit area and has become a model for other similar community initiatives in Macomb and Wayne Counties. Since its grand opening in 2008, Fish & Loaves has also hosted visitors from thirty different countries interested in learning how Metro Detroiters are responding to the needs created by a rapidly changing economy.
