Distribute reading/literacy materials to 3,500+ families curbside at the Mid-Ohio Food Bank Pantry

You can help literacy end poverty and change lives for good.

Thank you for your interest. We will email you directly with more details and storage facility directions.

You will be handing bundles of magazines to people in their vehicles curbside picking up emergency food supplies at the food bank. You will hand out up to about 100 bundles per hour. Prior to starting, you will pick up milk crates with pre-made magazine bundles at our storage unit next door to the food bank.

First thing - walk over to the food bank front door to get your temperature checked (they open at 9 am).

Carry the milk crates inside the tent on the side opposite where the food volunteers are set up (the side closest to where you will park your your car).

When the vehicles start to come through for food at 9:30, they will come through 5 or so at a time. Wait for them to stop moving and be careful around the cars.

As the cars come into the tent, take a mental note of how many cards are on the windshield of each car - you will give them a bundle for each card.

You will be on your own at the food bank or there may be one other volunteer, so this will require your ability to manage the distribution according to the instructions we email to you.

MagLiteracy.org gets new and recycled magazines and comics to at-risk readers via food pantries, homeless and domestic abuse shelters, youth mentoring, job training, foster care programs, juvenile detention centers, and prison reading programs.
