Laura Dille, Program Director at TABLE, shared this message. Please consider volunteering if you have some extra time!
We are in GREAT need of volunteers over the next 4 weeks to deliver food to our kids!! Here are the details:
- We have 3 delivery shifts each Thursday. Shifts are 1-2 hours long. Feel free to sign up for as many or few as you’d like.
- We predominantly need *drivers* who are willing to load their vehicles with food and go to local neighborhoods. Bins of food can weigh 40+ pounds each, but we are pairing up volunteers as much as possible so you will have a partner to help you carry the food.
- We discourage parents from bringing children under 14 with them on delivery (this is for privacy reasons for our program participants). At a couple of locations this is not an issue, but the locations we most need help with now should only have adults delivering.
- Most volunteers will be going door-to-door in apartment complexes to take bags directly to children we serve. If this is not something you’re comfortable with, feel free to check out other volunteer options (we do have a very few other spots open on the calendar).
- If you need to cancel a shift you’ve signed up for, please try to provide 48 hours notice.
- All volunteers meet at TABLE at their scheduled time, and we will supply all instructions, directions, and food!
This is such a huge part of what we do here at TABLE and we couldn’t do it without our wonderful volunteers!! To sign up, go to this calendar: http://vols.pt/cUvbnZ
Many people have been asking about fall volunteer opportunities. These will be posted in September. For now, this is our greatest need. Thank you so much for considering helping in this important way: making sure local kids get the food they need this summer!
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for partnering with TABLE!
