Opportunity Description
Every Friday afternoon backpacks of fresh and shelf stable food are delivered to specific local schools for kids that are experiencing hunger over the weekend. We are looking for people to join our delivery teams. Each team has 2 people, a driver and support person to load the backpacks into their vehicle, deliver to the school, and complete home deliveries as needed.
This service is delivered with compassion and kindness, ensuring the schools and families feel supported with this program.
Deliveries are completed between 1:00 and 3:00 on Fridays. Each delivery route has a specific time, so availability during this timeframe is critical. However, start and end times may vary within this delivery window.
A weekly commitment to this role is appreciated. We are also looking for casual delivery volunteers to cover shifts when regular volunteers are away.
Volunteers in this role must be able to carry multiple backpacks from the car to the school.
Volunteers that have a driving role, must have a vehicle that can hold up to 20 backpacks. A hatchback or small SUV would be the minimum size.
