Help Distribute Food to Needy Households

Details
Dates Volunteer is Needed: 
1 day a month. Available dates depend on site
Number of Volunteers Needed:

Description of the Volunteer Opportunity: 

Every resident at NewLife Homes is provided a food box from Roadrunner Food Bank once a month.

Roadrunner delivers 400-500 pounds of food to each of our sites, and we need help getting that food unpacked, organized, and distributed to our residents.

Volunteer help is needed at:

Sundowner Apartments, 2nd Thursday of every month (6101 Central Ave NE)

Kentucky Manor, 2nd Thursday of every month (437 Kentucky St SE)

Broadway Apartments, 2nd Tuesday of every month (424 Broadway Blvd SE)

Luna Lodge, 3rd Wednesday of every month (9119 Central Ave NE)

NewLife Homes 5&6, last Monday of every month (9901 Benavides Rd SW)

Help is needed within the hours of 8am - 1pm at each site, with some variance depending on Roadrunner delivery times. We request that you commit to a 2-3 hour block within that window.

Who Will Be Impacted Through This Project: 

Many NewLife Homes residents are disabled and senior individuals on fixed incomes who rely solely on food stamps for their monthly food budget. With the food assistance we provide in cooperation with Roadrunner Food Bank, we are able to help bridge the gap between food stamps and our residents' nutritional needs.

Is This an Ongoing Opportunity?: 
Yes
Minimum Age of Volunteers:

Are Court-Ordered Volunteers Accepted?: 
Yes
Additional Requirements: 

This volunteer role requires standing for an extended period of time. It may involve lifting of heavy boxes, but we are able to accommodate volunteers with physical limitations.

Volunteers must be comfortable interacting with diverse populations, including persons with mental disabilities.
