Repack Session at Greater Chicago Food Depository

Save to Favorites

Recruiting Organization: Greater Chicago Food Depository

The Greater Chicago Food Depository is the food bank for Cook County, with over 700 partner agencies that include places like food pantries, community kitchens, and shelters that help provide food for individuals facing food insecurity. The Food Depository regularly needs volunteers to help repack donated food and other products. With your support we effectively distribute food to our participating partners and in the last year alone have supported in distributing food to over 800,000 food insecure people. The Repack session is a great introduction to the Greater Chicago Food Depository, the work we do, and the need we see in Cook County. The food we receive in our warehouse comes in bulk quantities and volunteers are scheduled to help us break it down into manageable sizes. What you can expect to do in a Repack session is sort produce, inspect and box shipments of bread, or repack bulk dry goods (pasta, rice, beans) into smaller quantities.
