carpools for this event. Email Anna Robson, King County Bar Association
Member Services Assistant, to learn more and sign

Volunteer Duties: At the warehouse, volunteers help by repacking bulk food into family-sized portions, as well as sorting food drive donations. This food is distributed throughout NW Harvest's network of more than 375 food banks, meal programs, and high need schools. Volunteers should be prepared to wear a hair net and gloves during their shift.
When Not To Come: To protect the safety and wholesomeness of the food please do not volunteer if you are sick.
Personal Items: Please do not bring items of value with you. Though there are lockers available, there may not be enough to accommodate every volunteer. Northwest Harvest cannot be responsible for lost or stolen items.
Northwest Harvest's Dress Code:
- JEWELRY: Please leave jewelry, including watches and Fitbits, at home. Jewelry may not be
worn while packing food (rings and medical jewelry are okay).
- SHOES: Closed-toe shoes are
required (no
sandals or flip flops of any kind permitted—including sandals with socks). Volunteers
without closed-toe shoes will not be able to participate.
- CLOTHING: Sleeves must
completely cover underarms. Tank tops, sleeveless shirts, and even
cap sleeves are not permitted in the food packing rooms (short sleeves are fine
as long as underarms are completely covered).
Shift Time:
- Orientation will begin promptly at the start of each shift and is required for all volunteers.
- It is important that all volunteers start and finish together. The work is done assembly-line style and all volunteers work as a team.
