About
Volunteers will be expected to repeatedly lift groceries up to 35 pounds, stand for up to 4 hours, and work as a team to efficiently load and organize the groceries in each client's car. Volunteers involved with distribution may be required to distribute multiple items per client and may need to use simple multiplication for cars with multiple clients. Some volunteers may be involved with traffic control by assisting with organizing cars in line, handing out/collecting forms, writing utensils and on occasion water, numbering clients represented in each car, directing traffic flow, and greeting to create a pleasant experience for our clients.
Volunteers should be prepared to distribute food in any safe weather conditions and wear clothing and sunscreen suitable for the weather.
All volunteers should talk to a Food Bank employee to ensure they sign in and out properly to guarantee your time volunteering at this event is verified. This is a sensitive event and photography will not be allowed to respect the privacy of our clients.
As a reminder, we do not offer court-mandated community service hours for volunteer work.
First-time volunteers should always review our Volunteer Page to review any updates and Covid-19 regulations, as well as to read through our Volunteer Handbook, which covers instructions for events, dress code, programs, and submit our New Volunteer Survey. This event is not open to those ages 16 and younger.
