Dates Volunteer is Needed:
Description of the Volunteer Opportunity:
The Healthy Foods Center is a medical referral food pantry. Several participating health care centers ask patients questions related to their food situations. If a patient answers in a way that indicates they are food insecure or experiencing consistent hunger, the medical professional gives them a “prescription” for food. The food prescription allows the patient to visit our Healthy Foods Center once a week to receive access to fruits, vegetables, dairy, milk and other healthy food items. Please respond with interest in volunteering at the Healthy Foods Center at Roadrunner Food Bank. We will be able to place you in a position that best matches your skills and interests.
Who Will Be Impacted Through This Project:
We are currently at full capacity with medically-referred clients who are experiencing food insecurity and potential health issues. In the coming months, we plan to expand our efforts to offer more hours and services to our clients. Our volunteers are essential to this process.
