Opportunity Details
Food Pantry Couriers
The mission of Goochland Free Clinic and Family Services is to provide health care and basic human services to Goochland residents in need of assistance. Volunteers will meet at the Clinic's Food Pantry and divide up to drive to 2 food pick-up locations: Whole Foods (Short Pump) and Food Lion (Centerville) and bring the food donations back. Volunteers will document the weight and temperature of the food and organize the items. This project enables GFCFS to provide healthy, fresh food to their clients and supports their goal of a holistic approach to health care. They feed nearly 150 households a week--over 400 people. Your help makes a difference in their lives.
Volunteers need to be able to lift 25-40 lbs and walk up and down 5 stairs. This is a family-friendly project. At least one volunteer in your group must be able to drive. SUV's are helpful, but even small cars with one driver can pack in a lot of donated food! Parking is available on site. Volunteers should wear comfortable clothing and shoes that may get dirty.
All volunteers who plan to attend must be registered. This includes youth. If the post indicates adults must be present, youth and adults must register using the team functionality. To learn more about our team functionality, please view our Volunteer with a Group page.
If allowed on the project, any youth volunteers under the age of 18 must bring a parent-signed youth waiver to the project. The waiver can be found after sign up on the confirmation page or by visiting our Volunteer with Youth page.
