About

The Food Bank of Northeast Georgia has multiple programs that require volunteer assistance in order to accomplish bagging in time for the distribution events. This event may involve building sturdy bags of shelf-stable groceries for our Lena Watkins Senior Brown Bag program, bagging product in preparation of a mobile pantry distribution, or bagging produce to assist in reducing waste. Volunteers should expect to lift up to 35 pounds for this event.



Volunteers will be expected to set up tables or pallets for this event and follow the instructions and demonstrations given by Food Bank staff as to how to build the bags properly. Each different type of bagging will include simple instructions and with a menu and provided number of items per bag. Volunteers will be responsible for stocking and unwrapping product, breaking down any recycle, separating bad produce, and cleaning up after the event if time permits (involves sanitizing, sweeping, mopping).

The Food Bank of Northeast Georgia Volunteer Department cannot guarantee the event listed for this date as volunteer events are based on need; if a different distribution program has an immediate or greater need, the event for the day may change without notice. We thank our volunteers for being flexible and understanding.


As a reminder, we do not offer community service hours for volunteer work.

First-time volunteers should always review our Volunteer Page to review any updates and Covid-19 regulations, as well as to read through our Volunteer Handbook, which covers instructions for events, dress code, programs, and submit our New Volunteer Survey.
