Join us to help pack boxes of fresh fruits and vegetables to be distributed across Greenville County!
Each box comes with 10-12 varieties of top-quality fruits and vegetables that are sourced as locally and seasonally as possible. On box packing day, volunteers inspect and load the produce items into boxes as they flow down a conveyor belt and are placed on pallets that are distributed the following day, nourishing families across the Upstate.
You should expect to be on your feet for the better part of 2-3 hours. We do provide break times for snacks, hydrating, and socializing. We often play music throughout the shift to keep things fun and energized! Please bring a refillable water bottle and wear comfortable clothing and closed-toe shoes. Packing takes place inside a warehouse so we'll be out of the elements but the warehouse can get hot or cold depending on the season. Layers are recommended.
Box packing takes place at:
1801 Rutherford Rd.
Building 4
Greenville, SC 29609
Greenville, SC 29609
(**We share the warehouse with Plus-Plus USA so that is a good business name to search when using Google Maps)
We will begin promptly at 9am. Please plan to arrive a little early to give yourself time to park and locate our entrance. Please DO NOT park in any spaces marked as reserved for other businesses in the complex or those blocked off with cones. You may park in one of the spaces to the left of our garage door (these spots are limited) or out in the larger parking lots between warehouses. On the map below, the red line denotes the route to our garage door from Rutherford Rd and the yellow denotes the parking lots between warehouses. Carpooling is recommended for groups.
The FoodShare team can be reached BY TEXT at (864) 402-9796 if needed.
We look forward to having you join us and appreciate your enthusiasm for serving the Greenville Community!
