Pack produce boxes for local families! Our fresh food box programs provide individuals facing food insecurity with a healthy variety of fresh produce, including items sourced from local farmers. We rely on the generous support of volunteers to help us pack boxes in a warehouse which will be delivered to our partner sites in Pickens & Oconee counties.

What to expect on packing day:

  • Arrive at Feed & Seed fifteen minutes early so that you have time to sign in, wash your hands, and put on hair nets and gloves.
  • Once all volunteers have arrived, we will circle up to discuss our Fresh Food Box programs and go over food safety guidelines.


We are a GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) facility and do require all volunteers to comply with the following expectations:

  • Closed-toed shoes required.
  • Hairnets are required. PPE will be provided.
  • Beard Nets are required for the bearded folk. PPE will be provided.
  • Gloves are required. PPE will be provided. Hand-washing will be required prior to putting on gloves.
  • No Jewelry Allowed. (exception plain, solid bands).
  • No Food or Drinks in the warehouse area.
  • No Personal Bags in the warehouse area.

Please opt out of volunteering if you are experiencing COVID-19, cold, or flu symptoms or have been exposed and are waiting on test results.

New volunteers must complete a waiver prior to their first volunteer experience!
