9Cares Colorado Shares Needs Volunteers

Looking for a volunteer gig in Denver? 9Cares Colorado Shares runs from 7AM-4PM Oct. 27 and they need volunteers to assist in what is the largest one-day food collection in the state.  It supports over 125 food banks in the Denver Metro area and Northern Colorado and engages over 500 community volunteers. This would be a great way to give back to the community.

Volunteers can unload cars, pack boxes and help load trucks. The public is encouraged to donate non-perishable food. Cash collected is used to purchase items throughout the year for the food banks. Food will be collected at five main locations throughout the Denver Metro area:   

Locations are as follows: 

• 9NEWS Studios at Speer and Logan.
• The IInverness Hotel & Golf Club east of I-25 and Dry Creek
• Southwest Plaza at Wadsworth and Bowles
• American Furniture Warehouse at I-25 and 84th
• Havana Gardens at Havana and Idaho

Volunteers also will be needed at the Food Bank of the Rockies Warehouse, 10700 E. 45th Ave. Denver, From 1PM-4PM at the warehouse, volunteers can help inspect, clean, sort and box items before they are distributed to clients via our member agencies.
