Join the IAEE Rocky Mountain Chapter for a hands-on afternoon at Food Bank of the Rockies! Sort, pack, and prepare essential food supplies while strengthening Denver-area communities through teamwork.

Volunteer Center volunteers help prepare food for distribution to our Hunger Relief Partners and neighbors throughout our community. Projects vary based on the food available and current needs, so each shift may look a little different.

Volunteers may assist with:

• Inspecting and sorting donated food for quality and food safety
• Sorting and organizing fresh, frozen, or shelf-stable food products
• Packing food into boxes or other containers for distribution
• Portioning bulk dry goods into smaller quantities for neighbors
• Packaging, weighing, and labeling food 
• Assembling and/or breaking down boxes
• Lifting, carrying, and placing boxes on pallets
• Checking expiration dates when packing sorted donated food
• Moving pallets with pallet jack or other authorized and appropriate equipment (only select volunteers will be asked to do this)
• Helping keep work areas clean and organized

What to Expect:

• A hands-on, team-oriented environment
• Projects and food products that vary from shift to shift
• Standing for much of the shift, depending on your assigned project
• Repetitive tasks such as sorting, inspecting, weighing, or packing
• Bending, reaching, and lifting up to 40 pounds
• Food allergens may be present while sorting and repacking food. If you have a severe food allergy or concerns about potential exposure, please contact us before registering for this shift.

Good for: Individuals, families, and groups who enjoy hands-on work, teamwork, and contributing to a shared goal. Accommodations may be available for volunteers who need them.
