Branford Food Pantry

Van drivers go to our retail donors (grocery stores) to pick up donations, bring them back to the Food Pantry and help unload them. Hours are varied but are primarily Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and/or Friday mornings. You do not need to commit to all these days. Van drivers will begin by riding along with one of our current drivers to learn the routes and procedures. Estimated time involved: 1-2 hours per day. Requirements: valid CT drivers license, the ability to lift heavy boxes (possibly 50 lbs.), and the ability to make a commitment to a regular schedule.

Assist clients as they "shop" at the food pantry and help with set up, packing boxes for delivery to homebound clients, and clean up. 3 shifts available: Tuesday AM, Tuesday PM and Friday AM. Some Spanish is always a bonus! Some lifting involved. This is an primarily inside work but willingness to help outside (under cover) with additional client shopping is appreciated.

Help with managing food supplies: loading/unloading our truck, sorting donations, stocking shelves. Possibly ride along on pick ups, assist clients with groceries. Must be able to lift up to 50 pounds. Hours are early (7/7:30 AM) on Tuesday and/or Friday mornings for about 3 hours. Some outside (under cover) work.
