If you like to work with food in bulk, do physical work, and want to help your neighbors, please contact us. Wayside Food Rescue can always use a hand at its warehouse. The hours and tasks are varied as each day brings something different to food rescue. Sometimes, we are distributing food, either USDA commodities or food that was rescued by the program, other days; we are making up pallets, or get a call from a trucker or company that they have food to donate. No matter what there is always plenty to do!

Must be able to lift 30 pounds, be punctual and have your own transportation to our site.
