Morning warehouse shift at Food Bank of the Rockies
Sort and repack donated food at the Aurora warehouse. Lifting, standing, moving product from 8:45 AM to noon. Groups up to 30. Advance signup required.
Why we picked this
Monday morning at the warehouse: the week's sorting starts here. Volunteers process thousands of pounds of donated food that reaches partner agencies across the state before the week is out.
This Monday morning shift at Food Bank of the Rockies in Aurora involves sorting through donated food on the warehouse floor — checking dates, inspecting product quality, separating items by category, and repacking bulk goods into family-ready portions. The distribution network this supports reaches food pantries and partner agencies throughout Colorado and the Rocky Mountain region.
Work is physical and consistent throughout the shift: standing, lifting boxes, pushing loaded carts, and staying active on the sorting line. Closed-toe shoes are required; sandals and open-toed footwear are not allowed in the warehouse. Layering is a good idea given early morning warehouse temps. Shift: 8:45 AM to noon.
Up to 30 volunteers per shift, and group registration is fully supported. All sign-ups go through VolunteerHub — no walk-ins are accepted. Minimum age 10; volunteers under 16 need a supervising adult on-site for the full shift.
