Great volunteer opportunity for people of all ages…read more This warehouse is a food distribution center that is used to sort bulk food into family-sized portions. There are two large rooms where the work takes place and each can hold up to 60 volunteers (120 people total). The shifts are all 2 hours long with the first 30 minutes allowed for preparation activities like putting on hairnets and getting an introduction to the facility and the work. At that point, depending on whether the shift is full, you separate into two teams. On my most recent volunteer shift our group was working with oats. Once we were in the work room, each person chose a job. Some scooped oats into bags, others secured the bags closed with tape and put them in boxes, a few replenished oats for the teams, and a small set moved the bags of oats between the scooping table and the boxers. The 90 minutes of actual work time flew by very quickly as people got to know each other and got into a work rhythm. Upon completion of the work, we spent time cleaning the floors and tables and then took a group photo with a sign revealing how many meals we bagged. NW Harvest provides an organized, quick, and inspiring experience for volunteers and I highly recommend a visit.

Big props to the folks who work here everyday and enable all of us to make a difference! If you volunteer here, make sure you a arrive a little before the start of your shift so you can sign in and suit up (hair and beard nets provided). Make sure you wear closed toed shoes and bring a hair tie if you have long hair. Dress in layers as it can be cold or warm depending on the day and what you are doing. There are small lockers for free in the gathering room to store your belongings. You can volunteer by yourself or plan a group volunteer event. I've been volunteering on behalf of Boeing for a while now it's always a ton of fun! There is ample free parking as well in their lot.

We would repackage grains, diapers, bagels, coffee, beans, etc. As well as sort cans and cereals into bins. It's a small place, but John seems to keep things running smoothly. They always seem to be overflowing with help and food around the holidays but slips from people's minds during the summer. It's disheartening to see the shelves get so bare. There are plenty of areas to volunteer, but parking is scarce. They offer a wide variety of foods to their patrons, sometimes including frozen meats and fresh produce. There is also a clothing bank run by Theresa in the other half of the building that we've donated to.

I've had multiple interactions over a couple of years at this food bank where communication with a…read moreparticular staff member made the experience difficult and uncomfortable. Most recently, my wife called to reschedule an appointment. During the call, she was given instructions very quickly in a way that was hard to follow. When she asked clarifying questions, the tone became noticeably impatient and dismissive, including repeated condescending laughter. The interaction left her feeling embarrassed rather than helped. This isn't an isolated experience. On several past visits and calls, we've encountered similar behavior -- condescending tone, impatience when asking questions, and communication that felt more confusing than helpful. I also had one in-person interaction while updating our information that followed the same pattern. Because of these repeated experiences, we've even taken breaks from using the service in the past. The food bank itself provides an important service, but consistency in respectful communication from staff really matters when people are already in a vulnerable situation. My man, if interacting with the general public irritates you THIS MUCH, you are in the wrong line of work.
