Opportunity Description
FEAST’s Food Access Program, launched in March 2020, recovers high quality farm-fresh produce in partnership with Food Forward and Seeds of Hope to distribute to our participants. To address food and nutrition insecurity, Wellness Program Participants receive 10-12 lb bags of fresh produce weekly.
Every other Wednesday, we package over 60 bags of groceries at Mercado la Paloma in South Central from 9:30am - 12pm. Our volunteers are vital to the success of our Food Access program. They support by receiving, sorting, and packaging recovered food for our FEAST participants.
Volunteer tasks include:
Packaging produce
Lifting up to 50lbs of recovered food (if able)
Set up and break down of space
Sweeping, mopping, breaking down boxes
Cleaning tables
Sorting through recovered produce
Composting inedible food
