About volunteering at The Food Group
As a volunteer, you will help our neighbors have access to nutritious and culturally relevant food. Food from wholesalers and local farms is repacked in our warehouse for our 33 Fare For All affordable grocery sites and/or made available for distribution to around 200 food shelves.
Warehouse Volunteers assist with various projects; bulk repacking of items such as oatmeal, rice, beans, or pasta, assembling boxes for food distribution, sorting donated goods, cleaning and sanitizing of the workspace.
This event is a two-hour time commitment with no prior food packing experience required to sign up. Minimum age is 12, and all minors must be accompanied by a parent/guardian. Our staff will cover all important information before the project starts. Tasks may involve repetitive motions, sitting or standing. Volunteering with The Food Group is meant to be a safe and meaningful experience so please let us know if you require special accommodations.
Our warehouse is located at 8501 54th Ave N, New Hope, MN 55428. Parking lot available with wheelchair access. Enter the building along the west sidewalk (right side of the building) and through the orange door.
Please wear comfortable work clothes and note that closed-toed shoes and pants are required. We have extra closed-toed shoes if needed. For safety in the warehouse, please wear tops that cover the torso to the waistline.
You are welcome to bring snacks (enjoyed in the volunteer orientation room). Feel free to bring your reusable water bottle that can be refilled at our drinking fountain. We recently added lockers to safely store personal items.
We start the volunteer orientation promptly at the scheduled shift times; thank you for helping us get started on time. Let's build a stronger food system, one event at a time!
Golden Valley Pride
Saturday, June 7th, Noon - 6 PM
Brookview, 200 Brookview Pkwy N, Golden Valley
We’re a Bronze Sponsor and will have a booth. Stop by to engage in our activities and giveaways at this popular, family-friendly community event.
We need volunteers to help set up, tear down, and staff the booth throughout the day! Please spread the word to friends, family (kids older than 13 or so), and neighbors who may want to work at the booth with you. You don't really need to know anything about the DFL - just be outgoing, willing to engage with people.
This year, more than ever, it’s important for the DFL to have a strong presence, to let the LGBTQIA+ community know that we support them and for Democrats who attend to know that our values align with theirs. It’s a fun event to be part of, and you’ll go home feeling good about our community.
