Project Details
Volunteers will pick up the van from the ReSources Vail Food Bank and drive to local grocery stores to pickup food to be delivered to the food bank. Volunteers will interact with store staff in a kind and understand way, being appriciative of the store's effort to provide the food. Volunteers will pack the food in the van in a way that will ensure the food will fit and will allow for tracking of what boxes came from what store. This will require heavy lifting.
Grocery Rescue drivers pick up the keys as early as 7:30 am and are usually finished by 9:00 am.
Drivers will need to provide their drivers license and be added to ReSources Auto Insurance. You must pass a MVD (Dept. of Motor Vehicle) check.
You are welcome to volunteer with another person as there are 2 seats in the van. This can be fun for a couple or friends!
Grocery Rescue schedule is as follows:
Monday through Saturday 7:30 am to 9:30 am
2 Saturdays a month grocery rescue goes in town to Trader Joes, making for a longer serve opportunity.
Volunteers can volunteer 1 day a week or be a subsitute driver.
