Volunteer: Temperature-Controlled Clean Room

Second Harvest Heartland is committed to expanding partnerships and increasing access to protein for clients. We operate a temperature controlled-clean room to repack high-need protein donations. We are one of only four food banks in the nation to undergo the rigorous USDA certification process to be able to intake this important donation stream. 

To ensure food-safety standards, the temperature of the clean room will be kept at a cool 42°. Shifts may include sorting and boxing packaged frozen protein or repackaging ready-to-eat bulk protein into smaller family-friendly portions. Ready-to-eat protein consists of frozen meat items that do not require additional cooking prior to consumption like deli meats and items that require reheating for palatability like chicken nuggets.
