Morning warehouse shift at Food Bank of the Rockies
Sort donations, check dates, and repack bulk food at the Aurora warehouse. Physical work on your feet from 8:45 AM to noon. Groups welcome. Ages 10+.
Why we picked this
Wednesday morning warehouse work — a full sorting crew processes thousands of pounds in three hours. The product leaves the same day toward agencies that need it by the end of the week.
This Wednesday morning shift at the Food Bank of the Rockies Aurora warehouse puts volunteers on the sorting floor, working through food donations, verifying dates and product quality, consolidating inventory, and repacking bulk goods into portions ready for partner agency pickup. The network this supports distributes food to families across Colorado and the Rocky Mountain states.
Expect consistent physical effort: standing for three hours, lifting and carrying boxes, pushing loaded carts through the warehouse, and maintaining pace on the sorting line. Closed-toe shoes are required — warehouse safety rules don’t allow sandals or open-toed footwear. Layering is a good idea for the 8:45 AM start. Shift ends at noon.
Groups of up to 30 volunteers can register together. Advance registration through VolunteerHub is required — no walk-ins. Minimum volunteer age is 10; anyone under 16 needs a supervising adult present throughout the shift.
