Volunteer Grocery Pickup Drivers Needed!

We are looking for Grocery Pick-up volunteers to pick up donated bread, pastries, fresh produce and home goods from local grocery stores and farmer’s markets. This is a great opportunity for volunteers that like to work earlier in the day and are able to do some heavy lifting. The grocery pick-up process is critical in providing clients with a bountiful selection of food and goods to choose from. We pick up local grocery stores i.e. Whole Foods, Sprouts, Nob Hill, Trader Joe's, and Safeway are our partner stores - it is a fun chance to see the ins and outs of your local grocery stores!
