Volunteer: Drive-Thru Food Distribution

Drive-thru food distribution to food insecure individuals

Distribution of food that maintains social distancing guidelines occurs through a no contact drive-thru system.  This is a fast paced outdoor physical activity. All volunteers must be able to stand for 2-3 hours, lift bags of groceries 10-20 lbs, and don't mind working outside in Buffalo's every changing weather.       

Our volunteers have been working this drive-thru system since COVID began in March and we sure could use a few extra hands alongside of us on a temporary or permanent basis.   

Nightly cleaning and sanitizing of the food pantry equipment and work areas along with required masks, social distancing, and hand sanitation stations have been implemented.
