Repack at the Greater Chicago Food Depository

The Greater Chicago Food Depository regularly needs volunteers to help with repacking donated food and other products. The repack session is a great introduction to the Greater Chicago Food Depository, the work we do here, and the need that we see in Cook County. A lot of the food we receive at our warehouse comes in bulk quantities and volunteers are scheduled to help us break it down into more manageable sizes. In a repack session you might be sorting produce, looking over a shipment of bread, or repacking bulk dry goods (cereal, pasta, rice) into smaller quantities. Together, we can properly and efficiently distribute quality food to participating food pantries, soup kitchens and shelters in Cook County.

For alums who might be interested in participating with their children, please note :

The minimum age for volunteers is 14 years old. If you are 14 or 15 you must be accompanied by an adult over the age of 18. Groups with children between the ages of 5 and 13 may participate in Kids Day; please contact Volunteer Services for more information.
