Description:

Mobile food pantries provide nutritious food in areas where access to food assistance is limited. This program allows Harvesters to provide large quantities of fresh produce, and other nutritious food, where it is needed most.
Volunteers make it possible for pantries to distribute food. This is an outside opportunity. There are two different opportunities. All volunteers must be able to lift 5-20 pounds repetitively.
Tasks include: Set-up food and supplies Assisting with traffic flow Managing sign-in sheets Loading food into cars Assisting with cleanup
