Come Volunteer with your fellow UTHSC friends at the Midsouth Food Bank on four dates, including, March 20th, March 27th, April 17th, and April 24th. We will be volunteering from 1:00pm-3:00pm and transportation will be provided. Follow the link below to register today. Volunteers will work in our Volunteer HUB on different tasks, as needed. Our most common task will be sorting through donated food, checking for package quality, and ensuring the product is “in date”. Volunteers will then sort the product into different categories, then box and pallet those categories. https://uthsc.givepulse.com/event/432747-midsouth-foodbank-volunteer-opportunity
