DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Volunteers help us serve the thousands of people facing hunger each week in West Texas! As a warehouse volunteer, you’ll help us inspect, clean, sort, box, and prepare donated food and non-food items to distribute to our pantries, Partner Agencies, and the folks they serve. The minimum age to participate is ten years old. Minors under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult age 21+ to serve. If you bring multiple minors, you must bring one adult for every five volunteers under 16. We ask all volunteers to arrive 5-10 minutes before the listed start time. Please plan to give yourself ample opportunity to locate the building, get checked in, and be ready to start on time. Please dress appropriately and comfortably; no spaghetti strap shirts, short shorts, leggings, or revealing clothes. Also, (CLOSED TOE SHOES ONLY) No flip-flops, sandals, or heels are allowed in the warehouse for safety purposes. Some volunteers will be asked to work in a cold or hot area that is not air-conditioned for the duration of the shift. If you need accommodations during your volunteer shift, please get in touch with us as soon as you sign up for your shift so that we can discuss options. Once you sign up, watch for an email with more information about your shift!
