Afternoon warehouse shift at Food Bank of the Rockies
Work the food sorting line at the Aurora warehouse from 1:00 to 4:00 PM. Physical work at distribution scale. Groups up to 20. Ages 10+.
Why we picked this
A Wednesday afternoon option for volunteers with flexible midday schedules — the warehouse runs at full distribution scale, and three hours of sorting moves a serious volume of food.
This Wednesday afternoon shift at Food Bank of the Rockies in Aurora involves sorting through donated food on the warehouse floor — checking product quality and expiration dates, removing unusable items, and repacking bulk goods into family-sized portions that flow into the distribution network serving partner agencies across Colorado.
The shift is physically demanding throughout: standing, lifting, loading carts, and maintaining pace on the sorting line for three hours. Closed-toe shoes are required; no sandals or open-toed footwear permitted in the warehouse. The shift runs 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM.
Up to 20 volunteers can participate in afternoon shifts. Group registration is fully supported through VolunteerHub. Walk-ins are not accepted — all volunteers must sign up in advance. Minimum age is 10; volunteers under 16 need a supervising adult present for the full shift.
