Forgotten Harvest

My time at forgotten harvest was very wonderful. A typical day at work would include preparing,sorting,packaging,and cleaning foodstuffs followed by cleaning the workspace. I learned more about food preparation,fast paced work environments,and the needs of the less fortunate. The management team at forgotten harvest was wonderful, they were very helpful and extremely adapt and ensuring the work pace was going well and that everything was intact. The workplace although a bit crowded worked pretty well with everyone figuring out their roles and the work pace pretty quickly. The hardest part of the job for this job as well was when I had to leave after completing my volunteer hours for school. The most enjoyable part of the job was knowing that I got to help people in need.

Forgotten Harvest was definitely the most unique place I've ever had the pleasure of volunteering. I volunteered at two of their locations; the farm and the redistribution center in oak park. Both locations offered their own benefits and challenges. The farm was very fun because you worked outside in the fields with a large group of volunteers. The only real drawback was that it was hard labor. I spent most of my time at the distribution center, though. The oak park location was indoors and my job was to package food that would be sent across metro Detroit to food shelters. It was a lot more of a chaotic workplace but I greatly enjoyed meeting the diverse group of volunteers that I worked with.

Forgottenharvest is a good place to start off working when you've been out of work for a while looking for a better job they like to save money by having you do more then what your job description is just so they can save money. The co workers are great but the higher up they don't care about you. I also have to say some of the drivers smoke weed and come in half way drunk you can smell it

I rather enjoyed my two years as a driver for Forgotten Harvest. The work was often times hard but quite rewarding. Not just from a monetary standpoint but from a moral one as well.

I feel that I have learned a lot as a volunteer and believe that it has been a valuable experience.  Workplace culture is very sound and work is enjoyable.  Being able to package food that will be provided to families that are less fortunate is a rewarding experience and it is a pleasure to be able to do so in such a positive environment.

Forgotten Harvest allowed me to see how a non-profit works and the way they utilize resources. I learned the different patterns of how their supply chain works within the company and outside the company as well. I enjoyed working for a company that helps reduce hunger in and around metro Detroit.

I got to work with a lot of people from different back grounds.
Management was wonderful and they work with you.
I learned about how the food was stored and prepared.
the hardest part about this job was that the program ended.

worked here on and off for a few years. job is simple. wake up check truck, get a route with anywhere from 8 to 20 stops depending on distance, pick up donations from each place, drop off food, go home. pay is probably a little lower than most but its a non profit so its to be expected but you do get a lot of pto

My position was temporary however it was a decent environment with decent people and decent pay and the cause of work motivated me to stay although it was only a short time period wouldn't mind going back it was very time manageable

Very friendly people who likes  to interact with the public and help families with food and ect......they gauge is to show families there are programs that help the community around metro area of Detroit and other cities
