Food bank volunteer event

April 6, 2019 @ 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm

Calling all Buckeye volunteers! Pay forward with us during Ohio State’s Month of Service. Everyone must register in advance to receive their own QR code.

At a glance

Duties vary with the makeup of volunteers for the shift. Most of the projects at the warehouse involve inspection, sorting, and repackaging of donated food items for community distribution. Volunteers must be at least 6 years old and supervised by a parent or guardian throughout the shift.

Closed-toe shoes are required. Smashed toes are no fun, so we strongly enforce this safety precaution. Casual dress, long pants (preferred), t-shirt with sleeves.

Please plan to arrive at least 15 minutes before your scheduled shift so you can check in, receive instructions and start on time. If you arrive after the start of your shift, you may have to wait up to 30 minutes for orientation and assignment. If members of your group arrive late, we cannot guarantee they will be able to join you in your assigned project area.

Directions and parking

From Downtown: Take IH-10 east and exit Gellhorn St. (exit #774). Make a U-turn at Gellhorn, stay on feeder and turn right on Portwall St.
If space permits, you may park in the front parking lot, but in the event of a large volunteer turnout, you may be directed to our overflow lot located behind the building.
