Stock the Cupboard: Oregon Food Bank (age 6+) *MLK Weekend 2020*
Join us in honoring the legacy of Dr. King through meaningful service to our community: "Everybody can be great... because anybody can serve."
-- Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Join Oregon Food Bank and help them in their mission to eliminate hunger and its root causes. Unpack and sort donated food destined for agencies that directly serve low income people in Oregon. Your presence makes a huge difference, and, it's a lot of fun! Please wear closed-toed, closed-heeled shoes, and clothing you wouldn't mind getting just a little dirty.
Please note: OFB's highest need is often in the Perishable Repack Room, which is temperature controlled at about 50 degrees. It is possible that our volunteer group will be utilized in the Perishable Repack Room instead of the Volunteer Action Center, depending on where OFB has donations that need to be processed. It is important that everyone be very flexible, and bring an extra layer (sweatshirt) in case we are moved.
Court-Ordered Volunteers: You will need to contact Oregon Food Bank directly to determine whether you are eligible to volunteer. Please contact Jenifer Naas at volunteer@oregonfoodbank.org or 503.972.2993
TEAMS NOTE: If you are signing up as a Team, you are limited to reserving 8 slots. If you have more than 8 in your group, please sign up through the Oregon Food Bank's Group Sign Up page.
