Food Hamper Delivery Driver

The Purpose Society is a non-profit social service agency whose mission is to deliver a continuum of social, health, educational and residential services. We started our Food Hamper program to support individuals and families experiencing food insecurity. Each week, we provide approximately 100 food hampers, which feed approximately 450 people. For individuals and families with mobility issues, we deliver the food hampers to their home. See more information at: https://purposesociety.org/

Your help is needed to feed families in your community. We are seeking new volunteers to deliver food hampers one day a week to our clients with limited mobility. We reimburse your mileage.

- Assisting with loading the food boxes into your vehicle
- Drive to the client's address
- Unload the food boxes and carry them to the client's door
- Ensure the client is home to accept the food
