Berkeley Lab's Community Relations team needs volunteers to join us on March 16th to help the Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano (FBCCS) sort food donations at their Concord warehouse.
Read the description below for more information:
Warehouse volunteers will help sort and box food donations and box or bag fresh produce. Working as a team, volunteers will check food for quality, sort by category, and box or bag for distribution in FBCCS 'warehouse sorting areas. This position does require standing and some volunteers may need to lift filled boxes up to 35 pounds.
Things to keep in mind:
- Dress for the weather — the warehouse is not climate-controlled. Please wear layers when participating in a volunteer shift
- All volunteers must wear closed-toed shoes
- Masks are optional for all volunteer shifts
- Disposable gloves provided by the Food Bank must be worn while handling all food products including produce.
Location:
FBCCS' Concord Warehouse is located at 4010 Nelson Avenue (94520) in Concord. Follow the signs to the Volunteer Entrance, located at the back of the building where the trucks are parked. Look for the Volunteer Entrance sign on the far right-hand side of the building. Enter there to get to the Volunteer Sorting Room where you will sign in. Please arrive no more than 10 minutes before your scheduled shift start time.
Upon arrival, you will receive a Berkeley Lab t-shirt. Click the "respond" button to sign-up!
