Morning warehouse shift at Food Bank of the Rockies
Sort donated food and repack bulk goods at the Aurora warehouse. Lifting and on-your-feet work from 8:45 AM to noon. Groups of up to 30. Ages 10+.
Why we picked this
Monday morning in the warehouse to start the week — a full sorting crew processes thousands of pounds before noon, stocking the distribution pipeline that feeds partner agencies all week.
This Monday morning shift at Food Bank of the Rockies in Aurora puts volunteers directly on the warehouse sorting floor, working through food donations by checking dates, inspecting product condition, consolidating inventory, and repacking bulk goods into portions ready for partner agency distribution throughout Colorado.
The work is physical and active throughout: standing, lifting, carting product, and maintaining pace on the sorting line alongside other volunteers. Closed-toe shoes are required in the warehouse; no sandals or open-toed footwear permitted. Layering is helpful for the early morning warehouse environment. The shift runs 8:45 AM to noon.
Groups of up to 30 can register together through VolunteerHub. All volunteers must register in advance — walk-ins are not accepted. Minimum age is 10; anyone under 16 must have a supervising adult present for the full shift.
