Volunteer Food Delivery Driver – Black Food Hub
Bright Lights For Africa Foundation (BLFA) is a Calgary-based charitable nonprofit supporting African descent, newcomer, and underserved families through community-driven programs, including our Black Food Hub. We are looking for reliable Volunteer Food Delivery Drivers to help deliver food hampers to families in Calgary who may experience barriers to picking up their hampers. Volunteers will pick up prepared food hampers from BLFA’s community hub, La Passerelle | The Link, and deliver them to assigned households within Calgary. Delivery information and routes will be provided before each shift. Responsibilities may include: • Picking up prepared food hampers from the Black Food Hub • Safely transporting hampers to assigned households • Following the provided delivery route and instructions • Handling participant information and addresses confidentially • Communicating with the Food Hub Coordinator regarding completed or unsuccessful deliveries • Treating participants with dignity, respect, and professionalism Volunteers should have access to a reliable vehicle, hold a valid driver’s license, and be comfortable driving within Calgary. We are building a pool of delivery volunteers, so you do not need to be available every week. Volunteers who can assist occasionally, monthly, or on selected delivery days are welcome to apply. A brief orientation and delivery procedures will be provided before volunteering.
Why should you volunteer for this opportunity?
Volunteers will support local families experiencing food-access barriers while gaining community service experience and strengthening their communication, reliability, time-management, and delivery coordination skills. Volunteers can also gain experience working with a community-based charitable nonprofit and contributing directly to BLFA’s Black Food Hub.
