Description
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.
