Spring Break '21 Distribution

Volunteers are vital to the success of Food to the Rescue. We are in need of volunteers to donate their time to assist in delivering the food to the children's homes.  We also need groups for un-boxing, packing, and organizing the food bags to go out for delivery. If you have a group that would be interested in one of these jobs, please contact us at [email protected]

Job Descriptions:

un-boxing- When we order bulk food, it comes in big boxes, and then smaller boxes. We need to get all that food out of those boxes so we can individually pack each snack. We then line up the snacks in packing order. 30 min to an hour of your time would be greatly appreciated. GROUPS/CLUBS/TEAMS PREFERED. Please email us if interested

DELIVERY DRIVER-  NO CONTACT ~The MOST IMPORTANT JOB OF ALL! We currently serve 600ish kids. That is over 45 routes all over Putnam Co (excluding Monterey, we do things differently up there) Each route has 3-5 homes which you will receive the address to deliver the food directly to the children. Don't worry, We will give you an instruction card before we send you out.

It is basically like a drive-thru. You will check in when you arrive, we will then load food boxes into your car and give you the addresses to where you'll deliver. We ask that you call the home to let them know you are on your way. A simple "Hi, I'm a volunteer with Food to the Rescue, and I'm on my way to your home to deliver food to your child."  The majority of our recipients have been on our program for a while and are used to having a volunteer deliver food to their home. Plus we've called and confirmed the address ahead of delivery.

Once you arrive to the home, as long as you feel comfortable with your surroundings , you will knock on the door and step back or return to your car. :)

Please consider helping, not only us, but a child that otherwise may not have food during Spring break. Most of the recipients are EXTREMELY thankful, and it'll brighten your day to see the excitement on the Childs face when they receive their food! 

You will need a current background check. (If you've had one in the last year by another organization, church, work, etc, Please let us know. If not, we will run one for you, its a simple process, NO PAPERWORK!) We will also need a copy of your DL, and auto insurance. (If you've not given it to us before and there are no changes in your info)  Time from signing in, loading car and delivering food may take an hour to hour and half. MUST BE 18yrs+ to Drive. ALL AGES WELCOME TO RIDE ALONG!
