Seeking someone to build, test, and eventually deploy an app for volunteers working in our office to register persons picking up food at the food pantry at Midtown Family Services. The tablets we use are Android-based. Meanwhile, the CRM we use is Salesforce Nonprofit Cloud. Initial build and testing will be in a sandbox so no fear of breaking anything during that portion of the project. Final deployment will be overseen by a board member of our agency with significant experience. Either experienced Salesforce Admins or college students majoring in computer science, data sciences, or management information systems with an interest in Salesforce are welcome. We do strongly prefer someone willing to complete the discovery, testing, and final deployment portions of the project in person in our office though the build portion can be done remotely.

1-2 Volunteer(s), with their own vehicles, needed 2 hours per week on an ongoing basis to "shop" for food at the Second Harvest of Silicon Valley's warehouse at 750 Curtner Avenue, San Jose, CA 95125 then deliver to Midtown Family Services. Volunteer(s) set own hours though hours do need to fit within both Curtner Center Shopping/Hub hours and Midtown Family Services office hours. Additionally, we request that schedules be somewhat regular and kept updated on our company calendar to insure we ourselves are present top open our office door and assist you to unload. Curtner Center Shopping/Hub hours are... Monday: 7:00 am to 12:00pm Tuesday: 7am to 12pm and 12:30pm to 2:00pm Wednesday: 7am to 12pm and 12:30pm to 2:00pm Thursday: 7am to 12pm and 12:30pm to 2:00pm Friday: 7:00 am to 12pm Midtown Family Services office hours, meanwhile, are Monday through Friday, 8:30am to 5:00pm, excluding County of Santa Clara holidays. Volunteers must complete Second Harvest of Silicon Valley's online training module before starting. Volunteers must have insurance on their vehicles and complete a liability waiver. Volunteers must be physically up to the task. A crate of 12 half-gallon cartons of milk weighs about 52 pounds. A bag of potatoes, onions, or carrots, or box of apples or oranges, weighs 50 pounds. A crate of canned goods weighs about 30 pounds. A crate of pasta weighs about 20 pounds. Imagine picking up 4 to 6 crates, boxes, or bags of various foods each time you visit the Second Harvest of Silicon Valley warehouse. Imagine lifting each crate, box, or bag 6 times over the course of 2 hours: once onto a flat bed shopping cart, once onto a scale, back onto the flat bed shopping cart, once into your vehicle, once out of your vehicle onto a dolly, and once from a dolly onto a shelf or into a refrigerator or freezer.

Volunteers needed to: assist with unloading the donated food we distribute from the vehicles that picked it up from the area groceries or the Second Harvest of Silicon Valley warehouse, carting the food into the Midtown Family Services' office, weighing the food, putting the food onto shelves or into a refrigerator or freezer, then... cleaning up after the initial rush of neighbors in need have passed through, and... carting the waste cardboard out to the recycling bin. Please be aware that though we ask volunteers to arrive by 8:30am, the food pickup team sometimes does arrive after that, particularly when donations are unusually large. If the food pickup team is late, just wait for us. The food pickup rarely arrives later than 8:45am. The ability to speak a second language, particularly Spanish or Vietnamese is a plus.
