    Description

    Help Fight Food Insecurity in Philadelphia

    Zia has 3 different volunteer opportunities

    FRIDAY AM: We need volunteers to pick up a grocery order and a produce order on Friday mornings between 9 am and 11 am in and around Philadelphia and to drop it off at First Presbyterian Church at 20th and Walnut Sts after 10 am and unpack the orders in the pantry. Total time is 2.5 hours or less and requires lifting up 1-4 boxes of produce (about 40 pounds maximum) and grocery bags. Volunteer must have a car.

    SATURDAY AM: We need pairs of volunteers to deliver meal kits to our member families throughout the city of Philadelphia on Saturday mornings, beginning at First Presbyterian Church at 20th and Walnut Sts at 10:15 am. Generally it takes about 2 hours to complete the deliveries you are assigned. One person drives while the other drops the meal kits at the front door - no contact is necessary and everything remains socially distanced.

    SATURDAY AM: We need pantry packers to pack meal kits on Saturday mornings between 9 am and 11 am at the First Presbyterian Church at 20th and Walnut Sts. Volunteers will pack the bags in preparation for the delivery drivers and help load them in the vehicles, before cleaning and closing up the pantry so it is ready for the following week.
