Did you know 1 in 6 Georgians are facing hunger today? Let’s do something about it!
Join Grand Challenges February 4th, 8:20AM-11:30AM at the Atlanta Community Food Bank’s brand new warehouse, the Hunger Action Center (3400 North Desert Dr Atlanta, GA 30344)! As a Hunger Action Center volunteer you may assist with tasks such as sorting and packing recently donated food, repackaging produce or grains for families, or boxing non-perishable items for seniors across Atlanta.
Any volunteers should please plan to wear a mask and closed toe shoes. Volunteers will be asked via email to provide a copy/evidence of their Covid-19 vaccination information at the start of the event. Transportation to and from the Hunger Action Center via Uber or Lyft will be reimbursed for Grand Challenges staff, students, and alumni volunteering.
All interested volunteers must sign up for the February 1st “Hunger Action Center (Morning)” shift at: https://acfb.volunteerhub.com/eventregistrationwizard/complete and RSVP on Engage below. If you have not volunteered with the Atlanta Community Food Bank before, you will be prompted to create a profile. Spots are limited–sign up today!
Please plan to leave campus at 7:50AM so that our group can sign in and be given instructions together.
For any further questions or interest in future service events, please contact Madison Reddic at mreddic3@gatech.edu .
Volunteer Reminders from the Atlanta Community Food Bank:
**Out of an abundance of caution, the Atlanta Community Food Bank will be requiring proof of vaccination upon arrival for your volunteer shift.**
-
- Dress Code: Closed-toe shoes are always required, with sneakers or work boots recommended. Unfortunately, any volunteer wearing shoes that do not completely cover the foot will not be allowed to participate.
- Age Requirement: The Hunger Action Center requires volunteers to be 18 or older.
- Arrival Time: Please arrive 10 minutes prior to your shift to allow time to check in.
- Food Rules: Donated food and product cannot be consumed or removed from the facility. Bottled water is provided during the shift; however, space will not be provided for volunteers to consume outside food or snacks.
- Safety: As we continue to assess the safety for the Atlanta Community Food Bank and our community, we will be requiring temperature checks, face masks, and social distancing for the entirety of your volunteer shift.
