Please visit the new page to apply.

This opportunity is working with our food pantry team in our warehouse bagging fresh fruits and vegetables for a future distribution. It requires the ability to stand for the entire shift, lifting up to 15 lbs repeatedly, and tying knots. We prepare fresh produce to serve 850-950 families on each production day.
This is a Monday or Wednesday opportunity only.
On Fridays only, we work in the warehouse doing the same activity only with dry/canned foods. On Fridays we will be preparing bags of shelf stable foods to serve up to 2000 families for the coming week.
