What is the Repack Project?
Volunteers at EFN’s Repack Project prepare bulk foods for distribution by repackaging the foods into smaller, family-sized portions. Bulk foods include rice, beans, oats, pasta, frozen corn and peas, melons, apples, Once repackaged the food is ready to go out to the 75+ Pierce County food pantries, meal sites, and shelters that we serve. Each year, volunteers repackage more than 1.5 million pounds of food, equivalent to 3 meals-a-day for a year for 274 families of four!
What are the volunteer qualifications?
- Experience: No repacking experience necessary! EFN staff will provide you with orientation, training, and supervision.
- Physical Requirements: Volunteers need to be able to lift up to 50 pounds either individually or with a partner. When repacking produce, volunteers need to be able to bend down to grab the produce out of bins that are at floor level.
- Minimum Age: The minimum age to volunteer as an individual at the Repack is 16. Youth ages 12-15 can volunteer with a parent or guardian. All youth under the age of 17 need to bring a signed Parental Consent Form when they come to volunteer.
