Saturday morning food sort at Food Bank of the Rockies
Sort and pack donated food at the Food Bank of the Rockies Aurora warehouse. Saturday, 8:45 AM to noon. Ages 10+, groups up to 30. Register in advance.
Why we picked this
The Saturday before Christmas week — a good way to give back during the busiest stretch of the holiday season.
Saturday morning volunteers at Food Bank of the Rockies sort through donated food, inspect items, and pack them for distribution to partner agencies across Colorado. Saturday shifts run from 8:45 AM to noon. 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 30 can sign up together. Walk-ins are not accepted, so register in advance through VolunteerHub. The facility is in Aurora at 20600 E 38th Ave; free parking on site.
Demand for food assistance typically rises heading into the holidays. Saturday shifts are slightly smaller than weekday shifts and tend to fill faster, so registering early is a good idea this time of year.
