    Description

    Food Bank Delivery Drivers in any area of Maricopa County

    We are especially hoping for drivers in the outlying cities of the outlying areas of the valley to begin to provide service to towns like Buckeye, Litchfield, Sun City, Anthem, Fountain Hills, Scottsdale, Tempe, Chander, Apache Junction, in addition to the central valley.(Phoenix,Mesa, Scottsdale, Glendate, Peoria)

    We need drivers to help with our short term feeding program, delivering within a designated area. /we also need truck drivers all the way to 55 foot trucks to help with then occasional large supply of pet food we get offered. volunteers either with trucks or without are desired.

    We start by responding to disasters when we get enough volunteers, then move into partnerships with other organizations to deliver food regularly as we get committed volunteers. We help all groups but pay special attention on assistance animals for disabled, veterans pets, seniors and chronic/terminal illness patients who have pets.

    We generally work in teams of two to help in three ways.

    You would meet at the designated

    site to pick up food such as a pet food store, a grocery store, a distributions

    warehouse or a business which is gathering food on our behalf

    OR

    be a driver to distribute a petfood bag to a family in your city or town

    OR:

    Meet at our storage facilities to

    pick up food to take to delivery points for distribution.

    Generally commitments are made

    per day, such as the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month. We also need emergency

    drivers for those short term opportunities which come up when we receive an

    offer to take food on short notice.

    This is a wonderful volunteer for

    a couple, friends or family members to share this rewarding experience.

    The length of time needed will

    vary but generally from 1-3 hours.

    We ask that commitments be made as for one of the time periods Sept-Dec, Jan-April, May-June.
