Our wholesale food partners delivers produce to us on a regular basis, and we share it with 2 other community organizations in Silver Spring/Burtonsville. We need volunteers with vans or trucks that can transport 600 - 2,000 pounds of produce from our main location to the other food pantries. A truck or panel van with load capacity of 1,000 pounds is ideal for smaller loads. For larger loads, a 10 foot box truck with a lifegate that can handle 2-4 pallets of produce and other food is best.
Drivers are needed around 11:30am every week on Tuesdays, and the 2nd Friday of every month. We also need drivers to be on call for "short-notice" deliveries from wholesale partners that can happen at any time.
We will provide cloth masks and gloves for volunteer drivers (if needed).
