Food Repack at the Greater Chicago Food Depository
Hosted by Chicago Spartans.
Project Description
Together, we can properly and efficiently distribute quality food to participating food pantries, soup kitchens, and shelters in Cook County. You will repack donated and purchased food. The food we receive at our warehouse comes in bulk quantities, and volunteers break it down into manageable sizes. Repack, sort, inspect and box shipments of produce, bread, or dry goods into smaller quantities.

Please plan to arrive 15-30 minutes early to your Repack session so we can begin right on time with a brief orientation. Volunteers may use the free parking on Karlov Ave, along Ann Lurie (42nd) Place, or along Keeler Ave. During normal business hours, the parking lot is reserved for staff and guests with disabilities. Our parking lot is open to volunteers during Saturday sessions.
