Our fresh food box programs provide individuals facing food insecurity with a healthy variety of fresh produce, including items sourced from local farmers. We rely on the generous support of volunteers to help us pack boxes in a warehouse which will be delivered to sites in Pickens, Oconee and Abbeville.
We are a GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) facility and require all volunteers to comply with the following expectations: 1) No food, drink, or personal bags in the warehouse area 2) Volunteers must wear closed-toed shoes, no shorts dresses, or dangly jewelry please! 3) Volunteers are required to wear the provided PPE, including hairnets, gloves, and beard nets (if needed).
All volunteers must complete a waiver and reserve their spot on VolunteerMatch.

Once all volunteers have arrived, we will circle up to discuss our Fresh Food Box programs and go over food safety guidelines. Volunteers will work in an assembly line for 1.5-2 hrs to pack boxes and help clean up the warehouse.
