We will be volunteering at The Food Group, and here's some more information from them:

• You will be packing food in the warehouse. This may be repackaging bulk product into consumer size bags, sorting donations or packing for our Fare for All sites. The details of your project will be explained on the day of your event.
• If you show any signs of cold, flu or sickness please abstain from this event.
•  Everyone must wear closed-toe shoes, and we recommend wearing something comfortable as we pack and sort food in a warehouse setting. It may be cool in the warehouse, so wearing layers is recommended.
