    Description

    Assist with Delivering Food to Pantries! No driving required!

    Join our volunteer team as a Volunteer Delivery Support and play a vital role in bringing nutritious food directly to Second Harvest partner food pantries across southwestern Wisconsin.

    This is a hands-on opportunity to make a real impact, ensuring food reaches neighbors. No driving is required-just your energy, reliability, and passion for giving back. All deliveries are made using a Second Harvest vehicle.

    What You'll Do:

    • As a Volunteer Delivery Support, you’ll ride along with a Second Harvest staff member or a fellow volunteer driver, helping to load and unload up to 8 pallets of food per shift.

    What We're Looking For:

    • Friendly, reliable individuals who enjoy working as part of a team.
    • Able to work independently and lift more than 50 pounds if needed (most lifting will be lighter, and assistance is available for heavier items!)
    • Comfortable interacting respectfully with community members.

    Commitment:

    • Volunteer shifts are typically 3-4 hours per week.
    • Shifts are weekly, with the most help needed on Wednesdays and Thursdays, but we are flexible based on your availablity.
    • We ask for at least a 6-month minimum commitment.

    Requirements:

    • 18 years and above.
    • Approved Second Harvest volunteer.
    • Successfully complete a background check.
    • Adherence to all workplace safety standards and procedures.

    Why Volunteer With Us?

    • You'll be part of a mission-driven team working to address food insecurity right in your community.
    • Volunteering with us means building community, staying active, and knowing your time is making a direct impact- one delivery at a time.
