See Frances when you arrive, she is the Site Leader

Food distribution is a hands-on volunteer activity. Activities could include assisting with room set up, unloading and moving food from pallets to the distribution center; sorting and distributing food; and clean up. This is a great chance for volunteers to interface with our clients. This volunteer activity does require some heavy lifting (a minimum of 25lbs.) and regular movement.

We are a full out of the box Walkup Farmers Market, which will provide an elevated experience for both Volunteers and Clients. We welcome you to become part of the team setting the foundation for ongoing community improvements and connection by considering signing up as a recurring volunteer at this site.

The volunteer 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.

Additional information for this shift: See Frances when you arrive. She is the site leader. This is a 1x/month walkup only distribution in Boys & Girls Parking lot next to Memorial Park. You may be asked to assist with loading, restocking, registration and line control. Some items are heavy (23/25lbs) so you there will be some lifting and you will be on your feet for the entire shift.
