Description
Berkeley Lab's Community Relations team needs volunteers to join us on March 9th to help the Alameda County Community Food Bank sort food donations at their warehouse in Oakland.
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 Alameda County Community Food Bank's 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:
- Wear shoes that cover your entire foot, preferably sneakers or boots.
- Appropriate clothing should be worn for your volunteer shift - limited jewelry, no perfume/cologne, and comfortable clothing that you don't mind getting a little dirty.
- Dressing in layers is recommended since our warehouse is not climate-controlled. This also means that the air quality outside will affect the air quality in the warehouse - please be aware of this if you have respiratory sensitivities.
- Volunteers are encouraged to bring a pair of sturdy, reusable work gloves.
- Youth (ages 10-17) must have the Waiver Form signed by a parent/legal guardian – if it wasn’t completed during the sign-up process, it can be printed here and brought to the shift.
Upon arrival, you will receive a Berkeley Lab t-shirt. Click the "respond" button to sign-up!
