FWHR Volunteer Opportunity - Tarrant Area Food Bank

Friday, November 22nd
1pm-4pm CST

What We Do:

FWHR is excited to volunteer for Quality Control (QC) at Tarrant Area Food Bank's distribution center, where donated food products are sorted, inspected, and repacked for distribution to a network of partner organizations in a 13-county area. Volunteers in Quality Control make a BIG impact by helping to ensure that our neighbors in need receive safe, quality food. Volunteers’ roles may include but are not limited to:

· Sorting, cans, grocery items and packaged meats

· Preparing boxes

· Manual pallet jack operating

· Sweeping/Mopping

· Pallet wrapping using shrink wrap

· Taking cardboard to onsite compactor

Please note the following:

· Individuals as young as 12 years old and 55 inches tall may volunteer in QC. Children ages 12-13 require one adult chaperone for every 1 to 3 children volunteering.

· Kids ages 14-15 years old require one adult chaperone for every 1 to 10 youth.

· Because Tarrant Area Food Bank is concerned about the safety of all volunteers, there are no exceptions to this policy.
