Description

Come help us keep our community fed. We need Drivers to help get food out to the community.  As the largest independent food bank in Pierce County, we are the #1 food delivery service. We provide delivery service weekly to clients who are not able to get to the food bank due to age, disability, or lack of transportation. We also provide delivery to over 100 clients weekly at JBLM.

Eloise’s Cooking Pot has the largest food bank delivery program in Pierce County. As a Driver you will pick up and deliver food and other donations from specific locations.  A Volunteer Driver must have a Driver’s License with a good driving record, Proof of Insurance, and provide their own vehicle.  If providing delivery to JBLM, must have access.  For volunteer safety we provide a designated area to pick the boxes up for deliveries. There are measures in place for safe delivery to the clients.

As a Volunteer Driver:

  • Flexible Schedule – Tuesday through Saturday.
  • Start Date: ASAP
  • Have an assigned route provided at the beginning of your shift each day of volunteering.
  • Pick up assembled boxes from the Food Bank and delivery to clients on your route.
  • Have enough room in your vehicle for a minimum of 10 small boxes.
  • Be able to carry heavy objects and walk upstairs to deliver groceries to clients in their homes.

Help us help others by giving them the food they need! Our foodbank is located at 3543 McKinley Ave E, Tacoma WA 98404.

Please let us know if you have any limitations! This is a chance for you to give back to your community in a fun, easy, and flexible way!
