Description
FEAST’s Food Access Program, launched in March 2020, recovers high quality farm-fresh produce in partnership with Food Forward and Seeds of Hope to distribute to our participants. To address food and nutrition insecurity, Wellness Program Participants receive 10-12 lb bags of fresh produce weekly.
Every other Wednesday, we package over 60 bags of groceries at Mercado la Paloma in South Central from 9:30am - 12pm. Our volunteers are vital to the success of our Food Access program. They support by receiving, sorting, and packaging recovered food for our FEAST participants.
Volunteer tasks include:
- Packaging produce
- Lifting up to 50lbs of recovered food (if able)
- Set up and break down of space
- Sweeping, mopping, breaking down boxes
- Cleaning tables
- Sorting through recovered produce
- Composting inedible food
