Afternoon warehouse shift at Food Bank of the Rockies
Work the food sorting and repacking line at the Aurora warehouse, 1:00–4:00 PM. Physical work at distribution scale. Groups up to 20. Ages 10+.
Why we picked this
End the workweek with a Friday afternoon shift — the warehouse runs at full scale, and three hours of sorting produces a measurable tonnage of food that moves toward partner agencies across Colorado.
This Friday afternoon shift at Food Bank of the Rockies in Aurora wraps up the workweek on the warehouse floor. Volunteers sort through food donations, verifying product quality and dates, removing unusable items, consolidating inventory, and repacking bulk goods into family-appropriate portions that flow into the statewide distribution network.
The shift is active throughout: standing, lifting boxes, loading and pushing carts, and keeping pace with the sorting line alongside other volunteers. Closed-toe shoes are required; warehouse rules prohibit sandals and open-toed footwear. Shift hours: 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM.
Up to 20 volunteers can join afternoon shifts. Group registration is supported through VolunteerHub. Walk-ins are not accepted — advance registration is required. Minimum age is 10; anyone under 16 must be accompanied by a supervising adult throughout the shift.
