Warehouse sorting crew
Sort and box rescued groceries on the warehouse line. Music on, boxes moving — the classic first shift.
- Physical:
- On your feet, lifting up to 25 lbs
- Ages:
- 14+ (8+ on family shifts)
Volunteer
Two hours. Nine hundred pounds. One very good playlist.
Volunteers move every meal we distribute. No experience needed for any role — a crew lead shows you the ropes in ten minutes, and the coffee is always on. Pick a role, pick a shift, come as you are.

Hold your spot
Sign up for a shift
Pick a shift, tell us who's coming, and you're on the crew list. We'll confirm by email with what to wear and where to park.
You're on the crew list
See you at the warehouse!
A confirmation email is on its way (in real life — this is a demo, so nothing was sent). Wear closed-toe shoes, bring a water bottle, and come five minutes early for the ten-minute welcome tour. That's genuinely all you need.
If your fridge is empty
Need food this week?
Come as you are. No ID, no referral, no cost, no explaining. Six pantries and a mobile market run every week — or call (555) 019-FOOD and a neighbor will pick up.
