Healthy Choice Food Market (S. Waterloo)

The Greater Cleveland Food Bank is recruiting volunteers to assist at our Community Resource Center`s Healthy Choice Food Market!

 

The GCFB Community Resource Center`s Healthy Choice Food Market is a neighbor choice market which allows neighbors to select their own food instead of receiving a pre-packed or standard bag of groceries. With this method, neighbors do not have to take items they already have, do not like, or cannot eat for health or personal reasons.

 

Having the opportunity to choose their own food gives the people being served a sense of dignity and control, limits waste, and allows them to tailor the help they receive to be the best possible fit for their own unique situation. We encourage nudges or environmental cues to help neighbors select the healthiest food options available.

 

Each day, volunteers help us serve hundreds of our neighbors at the market. Because of this, volunteers interested at helping at the market should be comfortable working with people from diverse backgrounds. 

 

Volunteer Duties Include:

• Assisting neighbors with shopping and item selection in the market.
• Assisting neighbors with loading their vehicles with food, as needed. 
• Accepting retail product donations, weighing product, and recording the donation.
• Organizing and consolidating product onto pallets and into bins to make product look presentable for neighbors.
• Consolidating spoiled or damaged items for removal from the market.
• Removing excess cardboard, bins, and boxes.
• Sweeping and mopping as needed.
• Assisting neighbors as needed.

Volunteers must be 14 or older in order to participate. 

 

Volunteers are required to wear closed-toe/heel footwear for all of our projects (NO CROCS, SANDALS, FLIP-FLOPS, ETC).
