Purpose of Role
You will assist in the delivery of food bags to our partner schools.
Duties and Responsibilities
On the last day of the school week (usually a Friday), our drivers collect full tote bins from Food4Kids and deliver them to designated elementary schools between 9am and 11am. At the same time, the previous week’s empty tote bins are collected from those schools and returned to Food4Kids for the whole cycle to start again.
Time Requirements
Each delivery shift takes about 1.5 hours, once a week. As we recruit more drivers, we try to build “driver pairs” who can share a delivery route and alternate with each other to deliver every second week instead of every week. Naturally, if you are not able to deliver in a particular week, another driver can cover for you.
