    • 8:00 am start to pick up the transport van at BART
    • Get bags set up in the kitchen for meals
    • Drive our vehicle to pick up meals in Washburn - clean driving record needed

    • Take transport containers back to Washburn and van back to BART
    • Be a positive and respectful person to our Seniors

    It looks like a lot of work, but we're dealing with fewer than 90 participants. The process goes quickly!

    • Be teachable and ask questions
    • Confidentiality is important
    • Can accommodate groups, many hands make light work! 😁
    • Ideally, having more than one team of 2 to help will help us extend our grant funding
    • One person can easily complete the process with good time management

    1 shift available:

    • Helping set up delivery meals and clean up: 8:00 to 12:00 CST
    • Opportunity is available on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays in Ashland
