JPAR Community Outreach: Tarrant Area Food Bank's Distribution Center

We invite all JPAR Agents, Friends, and Family to participate in volunteering at the Tarrant Area Food Bank's distribution center. This center plays a crucial role in sorting, inspecting, and repacking donated food products, which are then distributed to partner organizations across a 13-county area. The impact of Quality Control volunteers is significant, as they contribute to ensuring that our neighbors in need receive safe and high-quality food.

Volunteer responsibilities may include, but are not limited to:

• Sorting cans, grocery items, and packaged meats
• Preparing boxes
• Operating manual pallet jacks
• Sweeping and mopping
• Pallet wrapping using shrink wrap
• Transporting cardboard to the onsite compactor
• Unless alternative arrangements are made, volunteers should be capable of standing for extended periods and lifting weights ranging from 30 to 40 pounds.

Minimum Age and Chaperone Guidelines:

Individuals as young as 12 years old and 55 inches tall are eligible to volunteer in QC. For children aged 12-13, one adult chaperone is required for every 1 to 3 children volunteering. Youth aged 14-15 require one adult chaperone for every 1 to 10 volunteers. Tarrant Area Food Bank prioritizes the safety of all volunteers, and therefore, there are no exceptions to these chaperone guidelines.
