Be part of this powerful nationwide initiative and help make a direct impact in the fight against food insecurity. Join us for a meaningful day of giving back to the community!
Shift Information:
Runners (12-4pm)
Runners will meet at the postal annex and play a key role in keeping collections moving efficiently throughout the day. Volunteers in this role will drive designated routes to locate mail carriers, help unload donated food from their trucks, and transport it back to the annex. This role is perfect for those who are comfortable driving, enjoy being on the move, and want to support the smooth flow of donations from collection to distribution.
Annex Support Team (12-5pm)
Volunteers stationed at the annex will serve as the central hub of the operation. This team will receive food donations from both mail carriers and runners, then sort, organize, and evenly distribute items among participating food pantries. This role is ideal for those who enjoy hands-on work, teamwork, and helping ensure donations are distributed fairly and efficiently.
Extended Support Team (2-7pm)
In addition to assisting with sorting and organizing donations at the annex, this team will stay later in the day to help complete the final stage of distribution. Volunteers will help load and transport food to local pantries, ensuring donations reach their final destinations. This role is great for those who are available for a longer shift and want to see the full impact of their efforts from start to finish.
