Our Grocery Rescue Program helps us rescue almost 700,000 lbs. of food from going into landfills each year. We pick up food form local grocery stores and either redistribute it to the community, donate it to local livestock farmers, or compost it. We are currently in need of a Friday volunteer in this department.
This position is a Grocery Rescue Assistance on Fridays from 8-11 AM. This position would aid our Grocery Rescue Drivers in picking up donated food and getting it back to the food bank for distribution. It requires the ability to lift 25-50 lbs. from the ground and includes frequent standing and movement. It also requires knowing or being willing to learn how to safely operate a lift gate and potentially a pallet jack. We are looking for one person to cover. This is a weekly need and consistency for this position is key.
For questions, interest, more information, or to apply for either position, please fill out a volunteer application and email to operations@ferndalefoodbank.org. Thank you!
