WEEKLY SERVING OPPORTUNITIES

MOBILE FOOD PROGRAM

FOOD RESCUE: Food Rescue entails the PICK-UP of food donations from our partner grocery stores. This is physically labor intensive and is critical to our Mobile Food operation. Donations are dropped off directly at a distribution site or Dream Street locations. Depending on the day and load expectation, a personal vehicle can be used to pick up donations. Most days, we use a Dream Streets food truck for rescue. If you are comfortable driving one of our box trucks (not CDL vehicles), we will need a copy of your license on file with our insurance.
FOOD DISTRIBUTION: Food distribution happens seven days per week, usually one morning and afternoon per day. We distribute tens of thousands of pounds of free groceries every month to hundreds of families with the dedicated help of volunteers.
SNACK BAGS: At each Mobile Food site, we distribute snack bags for children and youth. We need volunteers to visit our West and North locations weekly to put together these bags. This can occur whenever it best fits your schedule! Email Volunteer Coordinator Liz Loxley to schedule a time to volunteer!
TRUCK/FRIDGE/PANTRY CARE: Cleaning the food trucks inside and out and organizing/cleaning the fridges/pantries at the centers.
