    Description

    Food and Supply Runners: Hands-On Support

    Runners are one of Rose Haven's greatest volunteer needs! Volunteers can either run supplies for our hospitality desk or work with kitchen staff to run food to our dining area. As a supply runner, volunteers work with a staff member at the front door, to provide requested supplies to our guests, generally hygiene products, clothing, mail, and outdoor supplies. Here you will act as a personal shopper for our guests, taking their order and then going inside to collect the supplies. After you have collected the items they are looking for, you will bring it to the person waiting outside. Food runners help to bridge the gap between the kitchen and our guests by bringing delicious food out to our dining area.

    Last year we moved into an amazing new space, allowing us to expand our services and meaning we need and appreciate every volunteer!

    2 shifts available:

    • Tuesday and Thursday Afternoons: 00:45 to 16:00 PST
