Drive-Thru Food Box Check-In is an outside activity.
Volunteers will help with check-in and use language skills as needed (Spanish, Cantonese, Mandarin, Vietnamese) as needed. Clients will remain in cars and hold food cards near window. Volunteers will scan bar code and record info. Volunteers will distribute food boxes for walk-up clients. Prefer volunteers who are willing to help multiple times in a month as there is on-the-job training that is learned.

Walk-Thru Food Box Check-In is an outside activity. Clients (many are Seniors) may not have vehicles or unable to drive and need to pick-up food using grocery carts or walkers. Volunteers will scan or record food box card number during check-in.
