What you will do: You will work to assemble tasteful healthy meals from the rescued food donation into individual meal trays. Fill out an application on www.foodforfree.org/volunteer, then sign up for a shift here- https://foodforfree.volunteerlocal.com/volunteer/?id=60576 Food For Free’s Heat-N-Eats Program uses rescued food from area university and corporate dining halls and repackages it into balanced, healthy meals, each comprised of protein, starch, and vegetables. The very same mixed vegetables, brown rice, salmon, lasagna or chicken that would have gone to compost are instead flash frozen, split up, and sealed into microwaveable trays. The frozen meals are then distributed by Food For Free to various partner agencies with an emphasis on educational institutions (ie. community colleges, schools, and service agencies). Our volunteer meal packers are the lifeline of the Heat-N-Eats program!
