Distribution Center (Sorting, Packing and Delivery)

Who We Are

Second Harvest Northland operates a distribution center in Duluth that supplies food to a network of over 300 agency and community partners as well as 70,000 neighbors.


What We Do

Distribution Center volunteers help ensure we have enough food for Northland families in need. The following are examples of projects that you might be helping with depending on the needs of the organization on any given day: 

     - BackPack Program - Volunteers will pack sacks of food for children in the Northland. The BackPack Program supports over 1,000 children, and we need your help to ensure no child goes hungry in our community. This work is done in assembly-line fashion with some volunteers on the assembly line packing the food and others helping to restock the line with the product.

     - Food Box Packing - Help your neighbors in need by packing food boxes at Second Harvest Northland’s distribution center. These boxes of food will be distributed at our mobile distribution locations to help feed children and families who need food assistance. This work is done in assembly-line fashion with some volunteers on the assembly line packing the food and others helping to restock the line with the product.

     - Food Sorting - Volunteers may sort and repack donated food (both perishable and non-perishable) from food drives, our retail store partners, or our Feeding America network partners.
