Repack Project volunteers transform bulk food shipments into family-sized portions that are ready to help feed the community! Working in our Lakewood Distribution Center, you and your fellow volunteers might find yourselves bagging up oats or sorting cucumbers that didn't make it to grocery store shelves to save them from the landfill. Come help us relieve Pierce County hunger and have fun with old and new friends in the process. No experience necessary; anyone can contribute!
Qualifications:
- Volunteers need to be able to lift up to 50 pounds either individually or with a partner (or bring a friend who can lift for you!).
- When repacking produce, volunteers will need to be able to bend down to grab the produce out of bins that are floor-level.
- The minimum age to volunteer at the Repack is 16 (youth ages 12-15 can volunteer with a parent or guardian).
- Registration is required as space is limited.
To register, please contact volunteer@efoodnet.org or (253) 584-1040. REGISTRATION THROUGH EMERGENCY FOOD NETWORK IS REQUIRED.
Are you with a group of 8 or more? Groups between 8 to 15 in size can reserve their own Repack Project! Repacks provide a great team-building experience while giving back to the community. Group Repacks can be scheduled Wednesday through Saturday with morning and afternoon sessions available. Give us a call at (253) 584-1040 to learn more.
