We are seeking volunteers to assist with a variety of tasks once the mobile pantry arrives. Volunteer duties include setting up tables, packing bags or boxes with produce items, loading food into vehicles, registering clients, directing traffic, and helping with other needs that arise.
The volunteer shift runs from 11:00-2:00pm, though some distributions may finish earlier.
All necessary safety supplies- including gloves, sanitizer, and neon vests will be provided. Restrooms are available in the Berry Events Center.
Please dress appropriately for all outdoor weather conditions, as events take place outside. We recommend dressing in multiple layers and bringing a drink/snack.
Please note that this food distribution can be physically demanding and may involve bending, lifting, and twisting. If you are interested in volunteering but have any physical limitations, please be sure to notify a UPHCS team member on site. We will work with you to identify tasks that meet your needs and keep you safe.
Location: NMU's Berry Events Center East Side Parking Lot: Corner of E Fair Ave and Pine Street (Marquette, MI). You will see the Feeding America truck and Feeding America directional arrow signs once you arrive.
If you have any questions about this volunteer opportunity, please email tbosley@uphcs.org
