  • Volunteers pre-sort food items into food categories, inspect food, and repackage food into case quantity. Your volunteer assignment will be explained to you in further detail during a brief orientation, but there are some things you need to know before you arrive:\n
      \n
    • This is a warehouse. It can be hot in the summer and cold in the winter. Please dress comfortably. Shorts are acceptable but please no short, shorts, tank\/crop tops or hanging jewelry.<\/li>\n
    • For your safety you must NOT wear sandals, or flip-flops. Leather shoes\/boots or tennis shoes are required. No exceptions. You will be sorting canned goods which cause injury if dropped on bare toes.<\/li>\n
    • Please do not bring valuables or purses as the Mid-South Food Bank is not responsible for lost or stolen items.<\/li>\n
    • Please do not wear jewelry on fingers or wrists that could slip off while working.<\/li>\n
    • Cell phones may not be used in the warehouse and must be turned off while working.<\/li>\n
    • If you want to bring a snack or lunch a refrigerator is available for storage. Please label your items.<\/li>\n
    • There must be one adult for every five children under age 15, and one adult for every ten children 16 and older. Children under 10 may not volunteer at Mid-South Food Bank and should not accompany adult volunteers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Volunteers play a significant role in allowing Mid-South Food Bank to operate efficiently. Thank you for helping us to Feed the Need.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
