    Description

    Volunteer Drivers Needed!

    We are looking for Grocery Pick-up volunteers to pick up donated bread, pastries, fresh produce and home goods from local grocery stores and farmer’s markets. This is a great opportunity for volunteers that like to work earlier in the day and are able to do some heavy lifting. The grocery pick-up process is critical in providing clients with a bountiful selection of food and goods to choose from. Local grocery stores i.e. Whole Foods, Sprouts, Nob Hill, Trader Joe's, and Safeway are our partner stores.

    Details:

    • Must be at least 21 years of age to drive a WVCS vehicle
    • Must hold a valid driver’s license and a clean Driver's record
    • Able to lift 40lbs
    • Acquire donated items from partner stores and return the goods to the WVCS food pantry
    • Shifts begin approximately at 8am and last for 1-1.5 hours
    • Enthusiasm for and interest in promoting the WVCS’ mission

    Volunteer drivers are asked to volunteer once per week, for at least 8 consecutive weeks.

    • West Valley Community Services (WVCS) is a basic needs organization that serves people in need in the Cupertino, Los Gatos, Monte Sereno, Saratoga, and West San Jose areas.
