During this shift, the facility will (hopefully) be fairly quiet by the time you get in. Guests will have followed their night routines and found their way to bed, for the most part, and this provides critical downtime to complete tasks that we do not have the time to do during opening and closing operations. Cleaning and organizing things is a big part of this shift, and gives the opportunity to quietly get stuff done that is often pushed aside during our busier hours.

The Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP), known at the Food Bank
as Senior Groceries, provides nutritious foods to senior households with an income at
or below 130% of the federal poverty threshold (for example: $1,883 for a household of one
and $2,555 for a household of two).  Each eligible senior is provided with extra
groceries each month including staple food items such as canned fruit and
vegetables, grains, dairy products, proteins, cereal, and juice. We utilize 30 different
volunteer delivery routes to get all this food to our clients.

Drivers must be at least 18 years old and complete a DMV and background check in order to volunteer. Due to the cost of these checks, and the importance of developing relationships with the delivery clients, a 6-month minimum commitment is required in this position. 

Each client’s delivery weighs approximately 28 lbs.
