Do you love getting out and about in the community? Want to make a BIG impact with just a few hours a week? We need YOU!
OCO is looking for a friendly and reliable volunteer to help with weekly pick-ups from local businesses, grocery stores, and community partners. One week, you might be collecting much-needed forms from restaurants; the next, you could be picking up bagged groceries or bundles of warm hats and mittens for those in need. Every pickup helps support vital programs that make a real difference in our community!
- What You'll Do:
Pick up pre-arranged items from local businesses and drop them off at designated locations
Represent OCO with a smile and positive attitude
Enjoy meeting local business partners and supporting your community in a hands-on way
- What You Need:
A valid driver’s license and a registered, insured vehicle
A friendly, can-do attitude and a little free time once a week
Ability to lift light to moderate bags/boxes (nothing too heavy!)
Willingness to keep track of mileage for reimbursement
We’ve Got You Covered!
We reimburse for mileage-so you can give back without dipping into your gas budget!
This is a great opportunity for retirees, remote workers looking to get out of the house, or anyone who enjoys driving and community engagement. If you’re ready to turn your weekly errand run into a force for good, we’d love to hear from you!
Sign up today and help keep our community running strong!
