Food Sorting
When product is donated to the Foodbank, it often
needs to be sorted, cleaned and repackaged. We call this gleaning.
Volunteers are needed to assist with the gleaning process everyday. Our
facility is available Monday through Saturday to individuals, groups or
organizations of 100 volunteers or less to support this need.
