Warehouse Distribution Join us for Warehouse Distribution and play a vital role in ensuring that fresh food and essential groceries reach families and individuals throughout our community. During this event, volunteers help sort, organize, and distribute food from our warehouse to clients. You’ll assist with setting up distribution stations, managing inventory flow, and handing out groceries in a welcoming, efficient manner. This hands-on, team-oriented experience is perfect for anyone who enjoys staying active, working alongside others, and making a direct impact. Whether you’re organizing products, restocking supplies, or greeting clients with a friendly smile, your efforts help ensure everyone receives the support they need. Be a part of our Warehouse Distribution team and help fight hunger—one box, and one neighbor, at a time!
Project Goals for Warehouse Distribution Volunteers • Ensure Efficient Food Distribution: Provide nutritious food quickly and safely to every client who comes through our doors. • Create a Welcoming Environment: Greet each individual and family with respect, kindness, and dignity. • Maintain Organization: Keep distribution stations well-stocked, tidy, and easy to navigate for both volunteers and clients. • Promote Safety: Follow all safety protocols and guidelines to ensure a safe experience for clients, volunteers, and staff. • Support Teamwork: Communicate clearly and work together to keep the line moving smoothly and meet the needs of everyone we serve. • Uphold Confidentiality: Protect the privacy of clients by handling all information and interactions discreetly. By working together toward these goals, we help build a stronger, healthier community—one meal at a time. Flagstaff Family Food Center

Warehouse Distribution Safety Reminder Your safety is our priority! Please remember the following while working in Warehouse Distribution: • Check in with a supervisor when you arrive and before you leave. • Wear closed-toe, non-slip shoes—no sandals. Gloves are available for handling boxes. • Lift safely: bend at your knees, keep loads close, and ask for help with anything over 40 lbs. • Keep aisles and walkways clear of boxes or debris. Do not stack boxes above shoulder height. • Only use equipment (like pallet jacks or carts) if you have been trained. • Wash your hands before handling food and after breaks. Don’t handle food if you’re sick. • Store heavier items low, lighter items high. Never climb shelves—use a ladder or step stool. • Know where exits, fire extinguishers, and first aid kits are located. Report accidents or unsafe conditions immediately. • Follow any posted COVID-19 guidelines. Stay home if you are unwell. When in doubt, ask a supervisor. Thanks for keeping our warehouse safe for everyone! Flagstaff Family Food Center
