Remote Volunteering for Food Provider & Food Storage Recruitment Committee

Organization of Committee:

• Within each committee, there will be two sections: one section will contact food providers (restaurants, retail areas, etc.), and the other will contact food storage areas such as churches, salvation army locations, temples, food pantries, and food banks.

Organization of State:

• We will allocate members of the committee whether they be in the food storage committee or food providers committee to a specific number of counties within each state (each state is divided into counties, and we will assign volunteers to each county)
  • For example, in Michigan, there are approximately 82 counties. We will assign each member (who is in either the food provider committee or food storage committee) to 5 counties. He or she will be responsible to reach out to the food providers and food storage areas in all the cities that fall in the five counties. We will take special notice of the major cities as well.

• Upon gathering information, the member shall organize this information on the electronic database (that will be provided by the Board of Directors), and depending on the interests and availability of the volunteers, the recruitment of volunteers in those areas for the respective food providers and food storage locations will begin.

Goals and Duties of Committee Members:

• Communicating with food providers/food storage areas and find out information on whether the said food provider/food storage areas engage with non-profit organizations.
• Updating the electronic database with new Food Providers and Food Storage areas information (address, phone number, email, etc.)
• Keeping track of each discussion made with each food provider/storage area digitally and consult these discussions for more information and questions
• Reporting any issues/updates to the Director of Public Affairs to be brought up in the Board meetings

Through the establishment of the Food Provider/Food Storage committee, we believe that we can expand our organization to a national organization, and in the future a worldwide organization.
