Food Rescue Transport Volunteer

Every year, our school food rescue program 'rescues’ over 15,000 whole food items and diverts them to places in need. We are seeking a few community volunteers (and backups) to help manage the Wakefield School Food Rescue program. There are various ways to help, and it’s flexible. For the program's long-term sustainability, we are seeking support in Program Management and in Food Transportation.

Food Rescue Transport Volunteer (Mileage reimbursement)

Time Commitment: ~1 hour per week or on a need-basis (typically Fridays)

We routinely need support picking up and transporting rescued food to our partner sites such as the Boys & Girls Teen Center or pantries such as Bread of Life or the Grace Everett Pantry.

• Pick up food items from designated Wakefield schools anytime between 1:30P-5:30P
• Deliver to a Wakefield drop-off box OR deliver to Bread of Life before 4P or the Malden pantry/shelter partners
• Ensure food is transported safely and promptly

This role is perfect for someone with a car, a flexible schedule on Friday and a desire to make a direct impact. Mileage reimbursement is available.
