Volunteer Shift Overview

At our Brooklyn Park Volunteer Center, volunteers assist with sorting, labeling, weighing and packing various food items to meet immediate needs and help feed our hungry neighbors. The projects vary from day to day and volunteers regularly work with fresh produce, dry goods, bread, and other food donations. This volunteer position requires volunteers to be able to twist and bend down, stand for the duration of their shift, and lift up to 5 pounds. Some positions require the ability to lift 40 pounds. We do have a limited number of seated positions available; please let onsite staff know if you need accommodations.

Volunteers are asked to arrive at least 15 minutes early to check in, store belongings, and be ready for the prompt start of the shift. Late arrivals will miss essential safety information and may need to reschedule.

Late arrivals will not be permitted to volunteer and will be asked to reschedule.

Dress Code:

• Shirts must cover the shoulders, armpits, and bellies (no tank tops or crop tops) for food safety purposes. Shorts are okay to wear.
• Closed-toe shoes are required. If you forget, we will ask you to wear a set of disposable socks and slip-on clogs.
• Wear comfortable clothing that you don't mind getting dirty.
• We suggest you dress in layers to remain comfortable while working, as temperature can fluctuate.
• No jewelry. You will be asked to remove all watches, fit bits, earrings, rings, bracelets, necklaces and other jewelry items. It is almost impossible to get back a jewelry item that is lost in the repack process.
• If you have permanent jewelry or items that cannot be removed, please cover them with wraps or bandages prior to the shift.

Lockers are available on-site to store belongings and we provide jewelry bags for small items.

Youth Participants (Under 18): Please notify SHH if youth will attend. They do not need to create an account—they will provide a separate youth waiver and instructions.

All members must register by 10/27. After that, unconfirmed spots will be open to the public. Late additions may be possible if space allows but aren’t guaranteed.

If you have any questions, please email volunteer@2harvest.org.

Thank you for signing up! 

We look forward to seeing you there!
