One of the most valuable lessons I’ve learned at Food Shift is what it feels like to be a respected part of a team that is constantly uplifting and strengthening each other. Everyone’s unique skills and interests are taken into consideration.

Social Entrprise Intern

Food Shift was one of my favorite jobs ever! I learned so many new things like how to separate food when throwing it away, making pasta from scratch, how to lift heavy boxes correctly, learning how to do math and formulas on a spreadsheet (never knew you could do that!), sending receipts to food donors, learning the rules of the road, and meeting very helpful people. Getting to help people in the community who may not have access to fresh produce was really the highlight. I wish my internship could’ve gone longer but I’m thankful for the experiences and opportunities I had. The Food Shift Team was very welcoming and friendly and I doubt I’ll ever find another team that cares and loves like Food Shift does!

I have grown both professionally and personally, and I owe much of that to the amazing people I have had the privilege to collaborate with during my time at Food Shift. The support, encouragement, and continuous lessons I have learned from the most passionate people in this field allow me to leave with a wealth of information I did not know coming into this position.
