ORGANIZATION: Community Emergency Service
CES Home Delivery Program delivers food to seniors who are homebound and often isolated. We need someone who is fluent in both Somali and English and has good people skills. The host would attend the site distribution once per month, arrive early and set up an information table where he/she will answer questions about the program, distribute information about other food shelves, as well as provide general information about other CES programs. The agency will provide refreshments when available. The main goal is to make the food distribution a positive experience for clients, potential clients as well as the volunteers who support these distributions. Some training will be required for this position. We encourage you to volunteer for 3 months at one location and see if it’s something you would like to do on an ongoing basis.

Community Emergency Service transforms lives by serving neighbors, sharing resources and becoming community - a place where people come hungry and leave hopeful.
Community Emergency Service is a multi-service non-profit organization that runs a number of food based assistance programs for Minneapolis residents. Our main programs include: Food Shelf, Meals on Wheels, Home Delivery, Bonus Friday Distribution, and East African Food Distribution.
CES is located within one of the most diverse, densely populated neighborhoods in Minneapolis; over 20,000 people live within its boundaries. 46% of families living in the Phillips neighborhood are below the federal poverty level.
At CES, we strive to serve all our neighbors in need without distinction or test. We invite support from volunteers and donors and are open to collaboration with other agencies, regardless of religious affiliation.
Will you help us move people from hunger to hope?
