Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: Goodman Community Center

You can support the Mendota Elementary school food pantry by helping with food pick ups! We are looking for volunteers to grocery shop and pick-up food from Second Harvest and deliver it to the food pantry. This is a flexible opportunity taking approximately 1.5 - 2.5 hours one day a week. You can shop any time on Monday or Tuesday as long as the food is at Mendota by 1:30 pm on Tuesday.

You will be:

  • Grocery shopping
  • Delivering food to Mendota Elementary food pantry
  • Putting away perishable items
We will provide you with a shopping list, money for food, and any training that you will need. We are looking for someone who can commit to the position for at least 3 months.

You must be able to lift, load, and unload around 20 bags of food (you decide how heavy you want them). A custodian at Mendota Elementary will be available to help you unload food onto cart and move them to the pantry. You must have a clean driving record, access to your own vehicle, and be 21+.

Description

The Goodman Community Center is not your average community center. As I get to talking with people about Goodman, they inevitably end up surprised. They’re surprised by how many programs and resources we offer, how beautiful our facilities are, or how many people we serve. Every year more than 30,000 people use the Center - some who come to one event, others who are very familiar faces here.

Thanks to our generous community, we just built and moved into a second beautiful facility across the street, the Brassworks building. We’re now reconfiguring and refreshing the Center’s first home on Waubesa Street, the Ironworks building. During this past ten years, we’ve nearly doubled in size.

Our staff are committed to learning and continually improving, too. That’s why each program uses a variety of tools to measure impacts for both the program overall, and for each individual participant. We use that data to constantly fine-tune what we do - and how we do it.

We’re glad Goodman is one of many organizations in the Madison area who are pouring themselves into making our community great - for us all. We hope you’ll join us. Because we know that every good thing that happens here is made possible by people like you.
