The Clark County Food Bank depends on volunteers to help feed hungry Clark County residents. To help, call 360-693-0939 or email volunteer@clarkcountyfoodbank.org. The greatest needs are for:
• Food collectors. People in this position drive or ride in a 20-foot box truck to Clark County grocery stores, 7:15 to 10:30 a.m. weekdays, filling out donation slips and lifting 40- to 50-pound boxes. A commercial driver’s license is not required. A commitment of two shifts per month is requested.
• Food sorters. Sorters wear close-toed shoes, for safety, and layered clothing, as the work is done in a refrigerated room, 10 a.m. to noon weekdays. Those able to work a longer shift can help with the following day’s donations. A commitment of one shift per week is requested.
• Receptionists. Shifts are 8 a.m. to noon, or noon to 4 p.m. Receptionists handle phones and messages, file, enter data on the computer, greet visitors and provide light cleaning. A commitment of one shift per week for at least six months is requested.
