Start your day by doing good! Join a fun, vibrant team that’s driving our mission and feeding local communities while diverting over 200,000 pounds of food from landfills every week. Sharing Excess is a national non-profit that is rescuing surplus food and feeding to solve scarcity. Our mission is to rescue surplus food from grocery stores, restaurants, wholesalers, and farmers and redistribute it to communities in need at no cost to the consumer. We’ve rescued over 80 million pounds of food to date - and we’re just getting started. 

Sharing Excess operates a wholesale food rescue program out of the Hunts Point Produce Market, one of the largest produce terminals in the world, providing around 60% of the produce to New York City and the surrounding area. We are seeking a Warehouse Associate to oversee and also be hands-on with the daily rescue and redistribution of donated food at Hunts Point.

The ideal candidate will be comfortable working on a close-knit team and in a temperature-controlled warehouse environment. You will assist with a variety of essential tasks to ensure our operations run smoothly and be an essential part of our nonprofit as we reduce food waste and food insecurity across New York City.

  • Setting up, breaking down, and general upkeep of food sorting area.
  • Weighing food donations with a pallet scale.
  • Helping maintain accurate records of food donations.
  • Supervising and training on-site volunteer produce sorters, when applicable.
  • Packing produce in boxes ready for distribution.

  • Maintaining a safe and clean warehouse environment.

Qualifications:

  • Available 10 am - 3 pm M-F.
  • Forklift certification preferred.

Physical Requirements:

  • Ability to stand for extended periods (up to 7 hours)
  • Must be able to lift up to 75 pounds at one time.
  • Capability to bend, stoop, reach, and perform repetitive motions.
  • Comfortable working in a temperature-controlled environment (cooler temperatures)
