    Description

    The Berkeley Food Network is looking for volunteer drivers & co-pilots for our Home Delivery Program!

    Berkeley Food Network (BFN) uses an innovative, community-centered approach to food sourcing and distribution. BFN’s Home Delivery Program is designed to provide supplemental groceries to all Berkeley residents who:

    • Can cook at home
    • Cannot access BFN or other Alameda County Food Pantries themselves
    • Have no one in their community who can pick-up groceries for them
    • Do not already receive any meals or delivered groceries from another organization
    We are looking for volunteer drivers and co-pilots to deliver groceries to community members' homes. This is a great opportunity to build connections with neighbors and other volunteers. Volunteers deliver two boxes of groceries to about eight members in Berkeley.
    Shift times:
    Wednesdays | 1pm to ~2 pm

    Requirements for co-pilots and drivers include that volunteers:

    • are available on Wednesdays from 1pm to ~2 pm
    • can see yourself volunteering regularly (every week or every other week on an ongoing basis with some flexibility)
    • can lift and carry the grocery boxes (10-20 lbs)
    Drivers must also:
    • be at least 18 years of age
    • sign up for a shift with an experienced co-pilot before doing a driving shift
    • fill out the BFN Driving agreements
    • complete a Confidentiality Agreement
    • provide a copy of a valid driver's license (front side only) for MRV review by our insurance company
    • have a reliable vehicle you can drive
    Please fill out our Volunteer Inquiry Form! The Volunteer Manager will will provide next steps for onboarding as a volunteer within 3 business days via email.
