Volunteers will accompany the FRFB drivers to various Mobile Pantry stops. They will support mobile pantry operations where needed: pulling product, loading the necessary supplies and equipment onto FRFB trucks, and assisting with the distributions (i.e., set up/breakdown, counting product, and paperwork). This is a full-day opportunity. You will ride with the Mobile Pantry Driver to each site. Please bring money or pack a lunch (including drinks) for days with multiple stops, as these items are not provided.
For safety reasons, only volunteers who have reserved a space may volunteer; walk-ins will not be permitted.
