Additional Description |
Shift description: You will be assisting with our outdoor food distribution. You may be packing carts of food, bringing food outside to clients, packing bags, or stocking shelves. Please dress for the weather as many roles take place outside.
When you arrive, be sure to let someone know you are there for a group shift. They will help you get a nametag. If you need a locker, please ask for one. We ask volunteers to limit what they bring with them (especially valuables), as locker space is limited.
Please wear comfortable clothing that you can bend and lift in, and closed-toe shoes. You may be volunteering outside so please plan to dress for the weather.
Feel free to bring your own bottled water, coffee, or whatever you like to have along with you. We also have beverages and snacks available. If you'd like to bring a lunch with you for days when you are serving a longer shift, feel free to put your lunch in the volunteer fridge. Ask a staff member if you are not sure where this is. All training will take place during your first shift.
What COVID-19 policies are currently in place?
For everyone’s safety, all volunteers must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19. Boosters are highly recommended. Volunteers will be asked for verbal confirmation of vaccination status. Please be assured that staff have already been fully vaccinated. This is for the safety of all volunteers, staff, and clients.
Masks are currently optional at Care for Real. We ask that volunteers cancel their volunteer shift if they are not feeling well. |
