Description

Food Box Delivery Program

The "Stay Home" order exempts those assisting with disadvantaged or "needy" populations.
 See below for full order from the Governor.
Your support is needed more than ever!

Prepacked food delivery is the 3 step process. The assignment requires your own transportation. It is also helpful to have a dolly or utility cart to aid with the transporting on the food boxes once at the delivery site.

Step 1: Select the zone(s)/zip codes to deliver (or Focus: HOPE staff will provide the preassigned location) 

Step 2: While on site, call recipient; Load food boxes in vehicle(s).

Step 3: You (your team) make "contactless" deliveries. 

This is a moderately physical activity. Long periods of active moving and standing are required.

Attire: We suggest volunteers dress comfortably and wear comfortable shoes (Keep in mind that the temperature inside the building may be cool during the cold months and hot during the warmer months.) Prohibited attire: Open toe shoes, loose fitting jogging pants, shorts, tank tops/sleeveless shirts. For safety reasons, you will not be allowed warehouse floor if inappropriately dressed for the activity. 

Additional Information: There is limited storage space, please leave personal items in a secure place. 

Parking & Entering the building: Is located inside the gated lot at Oakman and 14th street. Once inside the gated lot, there will be a sign on the building directing volunteers to enter in the door facing Oakman Blvd. The Volunteer break room will be to your immediate left. Go inside, check in on the registration kiosk.
