  • Load large boxes and tote bins of food onto a cart and into your vehicle.

  • Transport food safely back to YWCA Cindy Beedie Place.

  • Work alongside a Community Development Coordinator, who will assist with unloading upon arrival.

  • If interested, stay and help sort and distribute food to residents.

  • Access to a reliable vehicle that can accommodate at least six large tote bins.

  • Ability to lift and move heavy boxes and bins of food.

  • Ability to commit to Wednesday mornings on most weeks.
