Second Harvest Food Bank Donation Sorting - Maryville, TN

An SNHU Global Days of Service Official Site

Event Details: Saturday, April 11, 2020 | 1:00 - 4:00 p.m. | Second Harvest Food Bank Warehouse (136 Harvest Lane, Maryville, TN)

Learn More: We're looking for 20 volunteers to help the Second Harvest Food Bank with mission critical tasks - sorting through donations, quality control, and packing food boxes.

Second Harvest Food Bank’s mission is to lead the community in the fight to end hunger. It is the East Tennessee region’s largest hunger-relief charity, operating programs in 18 counties. The food bank secures and distributes more than 20 million pounds of food and grocery products annually through a network of 550+ partnering nonprofit organizations such as food pantries, soup kitchens, emergency shelters, and schools. Volunteers make all the difference in the success of the food bank.

Limited volunteer parking is available; we recommend carpooling if possible. Bathroom facilities, snack machines, and a break room are available on site. While casual attire is welcome (jeans, shorts, t-shirts, etc.), clothing must be appropriate for a family environment. All volunteers must wear closed-toe shoes and limit jewelry to rings only (you may be asked to remove your rings prior to entering the warehouse).

Volunteers must be at least 10 years of age, and anyone under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult.
