Bread/Produce Packing at the Warehouse

We look forward to meeting you at the Out of the Garden Project Warehouse. Your donation of time is invaluable in helping us get our bags and supplies ready each week.

Please read the following information before you register. Registering for a volunteer shift is your agreement to the following statements.

1. All volunteers MUST wear closed-toed shoes in order to enter our warehouse. Heavy items and machinery are in use.

2. We ask that anyone under the age of 16 volunteering in the warehouse be accompanied by an adult.

3. All volunteers agree to follow safe work practices and follow posted safety procedures and warnings.

4. We are taking the following precautions against the spread of COVID-19. If you cannot follow these instructions, we cannot allow you to work in a close setting with others and may find better volunteering opportunities at the Urban Teaching Farm.

   • All volunteers must wear a proper face covering while engaging in activities.

   • All volunteers must wear gloves while preparing or handling food. Gloves are provided by Out of the Garden Project, but you may bring your own.

   • All volunteers must maintain at least 6 feet of distance between you and all other people.

   • All volunteers must have their temperature checked before beginning their shift.

   • If you or someone you live with has exhibited signs/symptoms of COVID-19, please refrain from volunteering at this time.

   • Following recommendations from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) we ask that if you have traveled to any foreign countries or to the UK or Ireland within the 14 days prior to volunteering (or have had known contact with any individual who has engaged in such travel) to wait until at least 14 days have passed after your return to the US or after your contact with the foreign traveler.

   • Only a limited number of people will be allowed to volunteer at one time.

5. Registering with us on Sign-Up Genius indicates that you are giving permission for Out of the Garden Project to use your image for our marketing content including our website, social media sites, newsletters, and brochures. If you wish to be excluded from photos, please notify the Director of Volunteers.
