Come help us prepare special orders to deliver to our partner schools!
Preparing tote orders entails transferring Every Meal food bags from cardboard boxes into plastic totes.
A handful of our schools need their food bag bags to have some extra protection from tiny critters. For these schools, after the order is picked by Volunteer Order Builders, we transfer the bags from cardboard boxes into locking plastic totes, and we could use your help!
About this volunteer role:
Our food boxes/totes weigh 25 - 30 lbs. This role requires repeated lifting and stacking of the boxes/totes.
Totes are labeled during the process to indicate the contents of each tote.
Volunteers must wear close toed shoes.
Volunteers must be a minimum of 12 years of age. Minors must volunteer with a parent or guardian.
No special training is needed for this volunteer opportunity. Every Meal staff will show you the process when you arrive for your shift!
PLEASE NOTE: Depending on the number of totes we need to prepare, shifts might be completed prior to the stated end time!
Health and Safety
Masks are currently not required but are encouraged if that is your preference.
If you feel ill or have flu-like symptoms, please stay home. Read more about the precautions we're taking and what we require HERE.
Every Meal reserves the right to cancel volunteers with 24 hours notice. Due to delivery needs being dictated by our school partners, some weeks may have fewer totes needed than originally forecast. We promise we will do our best to give 24 hours notice in the event of a cancellation. Thank you for your understanding and support of our mission!
