Berkeley Lab's Community Relations team needs volunteers to join us on Dec 9th 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:
- Please wear clothing that you will be comfortable moving around in. Pants are recommended but not required.
- The warehouse does not have heat or A/C, so layers are encouraged.
- CLOSED-TOED SHOES ARE REQUIRED.
- No food or drink allowed in the sorting room or warehouse (water is ok but must be kept in a closed container in designated areas).
- Parking is limited and carpooling is encouraged.
Please read FBCCS' COVID protocols and review FBCCS' Volunteer Waiver prior to your shift
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.
