Why we picked this
Show up at 8:45, sort and pack food for three hours, and know that several thousand families across Colorado are better stocked because of this particular Monday morning.
Morning 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 Saturday 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 — 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. Plan to arrive 10–15 minutes early.
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. A Saturday morning shift contributes directly to that week’s distribution.
