Volunteer Opportunities
- Lake County Branch

Frozen Meat Evaluating & Sorting
Volunteers work with frozen meat from our Food Recovery Program. Our volunteers inspect, sort, re-label and pack donated meat. There is some lifting required and all positions require volunteers to stand on concrete floors.

  • Tuesdays from 1:00pm-4:00pm

  • Wednesdays from 5:00pm - 7:30 p.m.

  • The 1st & 3rd Saturday of each month from 9:00am-11:30am

  • 4th Saturday: 9:00am-11:00am (Youth Shift)

Volunteers must be at least 14 years of age during regular shifts and 8 years of age during youth shifts to work in the warehouse. The week leading up to the 4th Saturday of the month is considered a youth week. During this week, volunteers can be as young as 8 years old. Youth under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult 21 years of age or older.

*Note for Volunteer Groups: Other days and times may be available depending on the size of your group. Our Lake County branch can accommodate individuals and groups of up to 35 people. Many  companies and organizations find volunteering at NIFB an excellent team-building experience.
