Opportunity Details

Electric Car Grocery Box Driver (age 18+) Referral

Clackamas Service Center (CSC) is an inclusive "one-stop" community center for individuals and families seeking food relief and resources for improved health, dignity, and stability. This is a no/low contact volunteer position delivering groceries to the homes and apartments of people who have requested free food from our pantry. 

Volunteers will learn about food insecurity in our community; work with community partners that support food distribution; and gain a deeper understanding of what it means to be the last link for families to receive free groceries.

This is a great group engagement opportunity or a company group activity. Groups could reserve a delivery time slot and have volunteers fill the reserve shifts each week!
