Event Details:
Join us on September 19, 2012, at the ACFB Product Rescue Center.
What is the Product Rescue Center?
The Product Rescue Center is the area of the Food Bank where all food drive and salvaged food items are brought to be inspected and packaged by volunteers for distribution to more than 700 non profit partner agencies.
Food Bank trucks pick up goods from food drives, grocery stores and manufacturers, and drop them off at the Product Rescue Center every day. Teams of trained volunteers then inspect, sort and pack these goods. This area of operation is crucial to the Food Bank as it ensures that salvage and food drive donations will be safe and wholesome for distribution to people in need.
The Product Rescue Center provides a great hands-on experience in a diverse and social atmosphere. It is an ideal opportunity for you to serve the community. Make it a family event. Children over 8 years old are welcome.
Volunteers must be able to lift 20-40lbs and stand for prolonged periods of time. This project may require sorting of frozen or refrigerated items such as meats and dairy products. Gloves and aprons are provided on site for volunteers as needed. No open toed shoes are permitted.
