Come join us for a fun and rewarding experience!
OFFSITE: Food Gatherers Facility, 1 Carrot Way, Ann Arbor
Enrollment: This volunteer opportunity is limited to 20 attendees. A waitlist will be available.
Fee: This volunteer opportunity is FREE, but you must register.
Required: A Group Member Volunteer Waiver Form and more information will be sent to all registrants a few days prior to the tour. Please bring the form with you when you come to volunteer.
Food Gatherers rescues several tons of food daily that volunteers help process, inspect, and sort. Since Food Gatherers relies on donations from the community, they cannot predict what they will be getting from one day to the next; therefore, specific tasks are often not determined until the day of the shift.
There is no heavy lifting involved. Food Gatherers recognizes that we are a group of senior citizens!
Please be on time with your waivers filled out. (If you decide to fill out a waiver on site, please arrive a few minutes early.)
NOTE: Volunteers must wear sensible closed-toed shoes (no sandals) and a shirt with t-shirt length sleeves or longer (no tank tops, sleeveless shirts, or crop tops). A head covering (hat, beanie, bandana, etc.) is required for most tasks. Hairnets will be provided if you need one. You may be in the Green Room which is temperature controlled around 50oF, so it’s a good idea to bring an extra layer such as a sweatshirt. Also, keep in mind you may be working with open food and things can get a bit messy. If you are wearing clothing that does not comply with these guidelines, you will not be able to volunteer.
Driving directions and parking instructions will be emailed to class registrants a few days before the class.
