Join the Boston Platoon in supporting The Greater Boston Food Bank. This event has very limited capacity, please register early to guarantee a spot. Volunteers work in our warehouse, inspecting, sorting, and repacking donated food and grocery products. Upon arrival, our team will orient you to The Greater Boston Food Bank and its services, and then you will be trained for your project.
Some volunteers load boxes onto conveyor belts, some inspect or sort products, and others check and label boxes. While a few of these tasks require the ability to lift a 30 pound box, most tasks require a volunteer to stand and inspect products or package boxes.
Please remember to wear closed-toed shoes for your shift (no sandals or flip flops).
