Volunteers needed to repack food for hungry

Northern Illinois Food Bank is in need of weekday volunteers to help sort and repack fresh produce and canned goods at its Centers in Geneva, Park City and Loves Park.  Morning, afternoon and evening shifts are available. Volunteers are especially needed starting the week of August 19 and throughout the harvest season. Food repacked is distributed to more than 800 feeding programs – food pantries, soup kitchens, shelters and youth and senior feeding programs – that are part of the food bank’s network across 13 counties.
