Description

Join Project Worthmore to make a difference in the East Colfax community! Our Food Packaging shifts are a hands-on way to get involved in your community while helping others. Not only do we repurpose fresh fruits and veggies that would otherwise be wasted, we also address food insecurity in the Denver area and support over 120 refugee families in need each week. Spending just 1-2 hours to unload, sort, and package bags allows us to distribute over a thousand pounds of culturally-relevant food weekly to help families as they settle in Denver as their new home. We follow the most up-to-date COVID protocols by requiring volunteers to be fully vaccinated, wearing masks indoors, as well as limiting volunteer numbers and keeping windows open for ventilation. Sign up to get involved or email Anne@projectworthmore.org for any questions.
