The Lussier Community Education Center food pantry provides nutritious food to over 200 families per month. Our pantry receives food from Second Harvest Food Bank, TEFAP (The Emergency Food Assistance Program), generous individual donors, and generous business donors in the area.
We are looking for volunteers to help pick up large donations from our business donors twice a month.
Volunteers use their own vehicles to pick up donated items.
Shifts areas follows:
- Mondays from 12:45 PM - 2:00 PM from Willy Street Co-Op West.
- Tuesdays from 12:45 PM - 2:00 PM from Whole Foods on University Avenue.
- Fridays from 12:45 PM - 2:00 PM from Whole Foods on University Avenue.
Volunteers are responsible for the physical task of loading donated items into crates (provided by the LCEC), lifting those crates into vehicles, and unloading crates from vehicles and into the LCEC (using carts w/ wheels).
This is a physically demanding position and we ask volunteers to be mindful of their bodies, as well as their ability to lift and twist.
Volunteers in this role are very important, as we are able to secure thousands of pounds of organic and nutritious items for our pantry shoppers each week.
This position is ideal for someone who is physically able to lift, has a large vehicle or hatch back, and wants to make a huge difference by volunteering their time.
