Via KTRK-13 and KSBJ-89.3, the Houston Food Bank is seeking 160 volunteers Monday to break down produce displays at the GRB when a national produce convention wraps up:
The Houston Food Bank stands to lose out on receiving as much as 40,000 pounds of fresh produce for distribution to the hungry in Houston if they cannot find 160 volunteers for Monday, October 15.
A national produce convention currently taking place in Houston will have an abundance of fresh fruits and vegetables which will be donated to the Houston Food Bank as long as the food bank handles all logistics. In order to make this donation possible, the food bank MUST find 160 volunteers that can help make this possible.
Volunteers are needed to dismantle produce displays at the George R. Brown Convention Center, 1001 Avenida de las Americas in downtown, and box the items for shipment to the Houston Food Bank.
There will be two shifts — 1:30 to 4:30pm and 4 to 8pm. The food bank is seeking individuals age 13 and older, and groups are welcome. To sign up, you can call 713-547-8683.
