Why we picked this
Friday afternoon closes out October at Food Bank of the Rockies — the last shift of the month.
Afternoon warehouse volunteers at Food Bank of the Rockies sort through donated food, inspect items, and pack them for distribution to partner agencies across Colorado. Shifts run Monday through Friday from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM. The work involves standing, walking, bending, and lifting up to 30 pounds — wear clothes you don’t mind getting dusty and bring closed-toe shoes.
Volunteers ages 10 and up are welcome; anyone under 16 must be accompanied by an adult. Groups of up to 20 can sign up together for afternoon shifts — just select the same date in VolunteerHub. Walk-ins are not accepted, so register in advance. The facility is in Aurora at 20600 E 38th Ave; free parking on site.
Food Bank of the Rockies distributes over 100 million pounds of food annually across Colorado and Wyoming. The warehouse operation depends heavily on volunteers — about 75% of sorting and packing is done by volunteer crews. An afternoon shift contributes directly to that week’s outgoing distribution.
