Home Delivery Drivers & Co-Pilot Volunteers Needed | Get Food to Those in Berkeley Who Need It

The Berkeley Food Network is looking for volunteer drivers & co-pilots for our Home Delivery Program!

Berkeley Food Network (BFN) uses an innovative, community-centered approach to food sourcing and distribution. BFN’s Home Delivery Program is designed to provide supplemental groceries to Berkeley residents experiencing food insecurity who:

• Can cook at home
• Cannot access BFN or other Alameda County Food Pantries themselves
• Have no one in their community who can pick-up groceries for them
• Do not already receive any meals or delivered groceries from another organization

We are looking for volunteer drivers and co-pilots to deliver groceries to community members' homes. This is a great opportunity to build connections with neighbors and other volunteers. Volunteers deliver two boxes of groceries to about eight members in Berkeley.

Shift times:

Mondays & Wednesdays | 1pm to ~3 pm

Requirements for co-pilots and drivers include that volunteers:

• are available on Wednesdays from 1pm to ~3 pm
• can see yourself volunteering regularly (every week or every other week on an ongoing basis with some flexibility)
• can lift and carry the grocery boxes (10-20 lbs)
• are at least 18 years of age

Drivers must also:

• sign up for a shift with an experienced co-pilot before doing a driving shift
• fill out the BFN Driving agreements
• complete a Confidentiality Agreement
• attend a training
• provide a copy of a valid driver's license (front side only) for MRV review by our insurance company
• have a reliable vehicle you can drive

Please fill out our Volunteer Inquiry Form! The Volunteer Manager will will provide next steps for onboarding as a volunteer within 3 business days via email.

Thank you!
