With the increasing growth of this donation stream, we are looking to add quality control measures to ensure the best produce gets to our hungry neighbors. We are seeking a volunteer to support the work of our Maplewood warehouse staff, adding a layer of testing and inspection for produce ready to be distributed, including visual inspection, temperature inspection & pictures. Training will be provided. The volunteer will work in our cooler & warehouse areas for this weekly shift. Volunteer needed Monday through Thursday for 1 hour each day (choose sometime between 8:00am - 12:00pm). If you are interested in this position but unsure about the time commitment, please know that this position can be flexible around the number of days.
Must have physical ability to bend repeatedly (produce is received in totes and in cases) and lift up to 40 lbs. Background in produce supply chain a bonus, but not required.

Mission Statement
The mission of Second Harvest Heartland is to end hunger through community partnerships. At Second Harvest Heartland, our volunteer partners do more than enrich our work, they ground us to our mission of ending hunger together. We integrate volunteers into all aspects of creating and delivering solutions that will free our neighbors of hunger.
Description
More than a food bank, Second Harvest Heartland is a leading partner in the policies and programs that work to end hunger, like SNAP, school meals and senior nutrition programs, and we’re an innovator in the areas where food can be the solution, like FOODRx and Minnesota Central Kitchen.
Second Harvest Heartland is a member of Feeding America, a national network of more than 200 food banks serving every state in the United States. Membership means access to millions of pounds of surplus food and grocery donations from manufacturers and producers throughout the country.
Working with our network of partners, volunteers and donors as well as people like you, our 90,000+ square feet of dry, refrigerator and freezer space is constantly accepting and distributing donations. Our fleet of trucks travels nearly half a million miles a year, picking up food donations and delivering them to local food shelves, soup kitchens, homeless shelters, senior community centers and children's after school programs. Each year we distributed more than 100 million meals to our partners in hunger-relief. Learn more at 2harvest.org.
