Position Title: Bag Lunch Distribution Volunteer
Community Need Met: The mission of Friendship House is to reflect the heart of God by feeding, sheltering, clothing, and healing… to empower those in need. A Bag Lunch Distribution Volunteer supports the ability to feed healthy meals to families, friends, and neighbors in our community. Volunteers will get to see firsthand the needs of our community while also taking steps to relieve the burden of those needs through providing a meal. Volunteers get to talk with meal recipients and be part of a web of resources for those recipients.
Qualifications: Volunteers must be willing and able to complete the following tasks
- Pick up sack lunches from Friendship House Café and load them into a 15-passenger van
- Drive the van to a satellite location near Mr. T’s Café
- Hand-out sack lunches to those who come to the van’s location
- Return van and left-over supplies to Friendship House Café
Location and Time Commitment: Shifts are from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on every day except for Tuesday and Friday when another organization provides a lunch service. Volunteers are asked to commit to volunteering for at least one consistent shift weekly or bi-weekly for a minimum of three months. Ending times for shifts are only estimates. Volunteers are expected to remain until all duties are complete.
