About Product Rescue Center

Constantly buzzing with activity, the Product Rescue Center (PRC) is the area of the Food Bank where all food drive and salvaged food items are brought to be inspected and packaged by volunteers for distribution to more than 700 nonprofit partner agencies.

Food Bank trucks pick up goods from food drives, grocery stores and manufacturers, and drop them off at the Product Rescue Center every day. Teams of trained volunteers then inspect, sort and pack these goods. This area of operation is crucial to the Food Bank as it ensures that salvage and food drive donations will be safe and wholesome for distribution to people in need.

The Product Rescue Center provides great hands-on experience in a diverse and social atmosphere. It's ideal for groups of up to 25 people ages eight and up, as well as individuals, families and friends. Multiple groups and individuals are combined to form a single shift, offering great opportunity for your group to meet other groups interested in serving the community.
