Food Distributor - San Jose City College 2100 Moorpark Avenue, San Jose from 9:00am to 12:00pm
PLEASE SIGN UP TO VOLUNTEER (Please do not email me back but use this link to register) 8/12/20 shift: https://www.shfb.org/give-help/volunteer/volcalendar-general/?shift_id=a0v1I00000ELLxmQAH
This volunteer opportunity is with one of our partner agencies who receive food from us and in turn distribute it to the community. We are posting this opportunity for them because they need some extra help! Food distribution is a hands-on volunteer activity. Activities could include assisting with set up, unloading and moving food boxes from pallets; loading boxes into clients' cars; and site clean-up. This volunteer activity does require some heavy lifting (15-30 lbs.) and regular movement. Volunteers must be willing and able to work with people of different backgrounds and nationalities, exhibit compassion and sensitivity, maintain strict confidentiality of all member and volunteer information, as well as to follow all guidelines and instructions provided by the site leader, including safety guidelines.
Please note: If you choose to volunteer at this location, the partner will likely have their own volunteer agreement and your volunteer relationship will be with this organization, not Second Harvest.
Assisting with traffic and parking control would be possible volunteer role
