The volunteer entrance is a tan door next to loading dock 4. Once inside the food distribution center, the Volunteer Department is the third door on the right. Bring Food to the Event: If you like, you can collect food and bring it to this event. The banks current most needed shelf-stable items are: peanut butter and jelly, canned meat, canned fruit, and cereal (hot or cold). What to Expect: Offered at the 122,000 square-foot distribution center in Irvine, this volunteer opportunity provides an excellent way for groups to work together to give back to the community. The food items that are sorted or packaged by you will be distributed to the nearly 350 member agencies that SHFB work with, who will then distribute the food directly to the 200,000 hungry people in our community on a monthly basis. Your help matters! Some of these food items will also go into programs that we run for feeding children and seniors specifically. We can’t do it alone, but together we can end hunger in Orange County. Activities typically include sorting, crating, and/or boxing food and produce. The minimum age to volunteer in the warehouse is 14-years-old. All minors under 18-years-old must be accompanied by an adult. What to Wear: Because you will be working in a warehouse environment, it is required that you wear close-toed shoes. We also recommend wearing comfortable clothing, such as jeans, t-shirt, and sweatshirt. Event Contact: Please contact Izzy Loh at izzyloh.asceoc@outlook.com, or by phone at (619) 752-4291.
