Opportunity Details

Hands On Orientation and Project at the Food Bank (age 6+) *Hands On*

Hands On Managed projects offer you an opportunity to join a group of volunteers on a done-in-a-day project led by a Hands On Volunteer Leader

Are you a new Hands On Greater Portland volunteer? You can learn about Hands On and get started volunteering in one evening! This project combines an orientation to Hands On as well as a hands-on project sorting donated food at the Oregon Food Bank.  

At the Food Bank, we will help unpack and sort donated food destined for agencies that directly serve low income people in Oregon. Your presence makes a huge difference, and, it's a lot of fun! Please wear closed-toed, closed-heeled shoes, and clothing you wouldn't mind getting just a little dirty.

If you are a court-ordered volunteer, you will need to contact Oregon Food Bank directly to determine whether you are eligible to volunteer. Please contact Laura Yeary at volunteer@oregonfoodbank.org or 971-223-3393.
