To maintain our operations we need general support during this challenging time and are asking individual volunteers for a regular, weekly commitment to minimize contact and exposure.
Tasks may include:
- Packaging pre-packaged hampers
- Picking orders to be sent to other food banks
- Sorting / processing of donated food
- Removal of waste and general cleaning,
- Other tasks as needed by the operations staff.
You should be comfortable standing for extended periods of time as well as lifting 40 lbs. We’ve taken the following steps to ensure a safe environment: All visitors must wash their hands upon arrival, reduced the number of staff and volunteers on-site at any given time, increased cleaning of all common areas, provide gloves and masks. If you have any concerns, please contact volunteer@dailybread.ca.
