Morning warehouse shift at Food Bank of the Rockies
Inspect, sort, and repack donated food at Food Bank of the Rockies in Aurora. Hands-on warehouse work from 8:45 AM to noon. Ages 10+, groups welcome.
Why we picked this
Thursday morning — sorting food before noon is satisfying work with a clear output. The product you touch goes into the distribution pipeline reaching partner agencies across the state the same week.
Volunteers at this Thursday morning shift work on the food sorting line at Food Bank of the Rockies’ Aurora warehouse, processing donated items, checking product dates and quality, pulling anything unusable, and repacking bulk food into family-sized portions for distribution. What’s processed here supports the food bank’s broader network across Colorado and neighboring states.
The work is steady and physical throughout the shift: standing, lifting boxes, maneuvering carts loaded with product, and working alongside a full volunteer crew on the line. Closed-toe shoes are required in the warehouse. Early morning warehouse temps vary — layering is recommended. The shift runs 8:45 AM to noon.
Groups of up to 30 can register together through VolunteerHub. Walk-ins are not accepted — all volunteers must sign up in advance. Minimum age is 10; volunteers under 16 must be accompanied by a supervising adult for the entire shift.
