Five days a week, fifty two weeks a year, Community Action House relies on valued volunteers to help pick up donated perishable food from the community and disperse it to our food pantries and Community Kitchen. This is often food which would otherwise be thrown away or wasted - we find a use for it, but need a way to get it here! We are looking for additional drivers to help meet this critical need, and are looking for energetic people with a heart to help others.
Each shift, drivers follow a day-specific route around the Holland community, visiting restaurants, grocery stores, schools, and other locations, picking up food items, and delivering them to Community Action House sites. A driver's license is a must. All activity happens in CAH's Van, specially outfitted to maximize cargo space.
Runs take between 1 1/2 hours to 3 hours, depending on the generosity of our community partners, and the number of stops on the run. Please share, and know that there is a place here for YOU to make a DIFFERENCE!
Our van runs Monday thru Friday, 9AM-12PM. If you are interested in helping to run the van outside of those hours, please get in touch with dlee(at)communityactionhouse.org -we often have needs which are not filled by the regular schedule. THANK YOU FOR MAKING OUR COMMUNITY HEALTHY AND AMAZING!

Description
Community Action House is a non-profit organization committed to breaking the cycle of poverty in the greater Holland, Michigan area and surrounding Ottawa County. For nearly 50 years, we've been serving the community helping families prosper- with food, clothing, education, opportunity, and hope. As a community powered nonprofit, we are what our community chooses to do together!
You can volunteer at our Food Club, helping local families achieve food security, at our Community Kitchen, serving up warm food and friendly faces everyday of the week, at our Resale Store, refurbishing used items to find new homes and support our programs, with our Lakeshore Food Rescue program, turning excess food into food access, or at the Holland Community Garden, working to grow food that goes directly to our neighbors.
