Volunteer: Box Pack - CSFP @ 480 Central Rd, Fred, VA 22401

If you sign up, PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU SHOW UP! 

PLEASE ARRIVE 5-15 minutes prior to start time! Volunteers help pack several hundred boxes for senior citizens (age 60 and over)  in our community,  at our warehouse. Each supplemental box is designed to meet the nutritional needs of those in need.  It features items such as beans, sauce, pasta, and canned fruits and vegetables.

The boxes are put on a roller belt and moved from volunteer to volunteer.  Each volunteer places their food item in the box and passes it on.  The boxes are quality checked at the end of the line and put on a pallet.  Able-bodied volunteers also help with replenishment of food for those filling the boxes. Boxes are broken down and recycled. There is some clean-up after all of the boxes are packed.

VOLUNTEERS - You are urged to drink plenty of water, dress in loose but appropriate attire, and always wear close-toed shoes.
