Volunteer

Closed-toes shoes are required. Please wear comfortable clothing to allow for plenty of bending and moving around during your shift. We recommend removing all jewelry including rings, watches, and necklaces prior to entering our facility. If your hair is longer than chin-length, please bring a hair tie. We also recommend bringing a sweatshirt just in case, especially if the activity involves working with any frozen products and if you prefer, you can bring a clean hat as an alternative to wearing a hairnet.

If volunteering at our Milwaukee campus… the Milwaukee campus specializes in sorting, packing, and labeling food received from warehouses, grocery stores, food collection drives, and personal donations. These donations can range from fresh bakery items, to shelf-stable goods and frozen foods.

If volunteering at our Appleton campus… the Appleton campus specializes in bulk repacking, where you will primarily be repackaging food from large, manufacturer-supplied totes into smaller, family-sized portions for distribution to our pantry partners.

We are committed to doing our best to accommodate individuals with disabilities and ensure an inclusive experience. However, in cases where a disability is severe, there may be limitations on the accommodation we can provide.

To be a volunteer, children must be at least 10 years old and accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. Children under the age of 16 are required to be accompanied by an adult the entire shift. For school groups, we require participants to be at least 12 years old.
