Volunteer: Fifth Street Ministries – Food Run Volunteers for Community Kitchen


Fifth Street Ministries is seeking reliable volunteers to assist with food run pickups, an ongoing volunteer opportunity that helps keep our Community Kitchen operating smoothly. Volunteers will come to the shelter to pick up coolers, travel to designated food pickup locations, and return the food to our Community Kitchen. Volunteers are asked to commit to one recurring pickup day per week—Monday, Wednesday, Friday, or Sunday—to help keep our food supply consistent and allow volunteers to become experts on their route.

Volunteers must have a valid driver’s license and a clean driving record. This role involves lifting full coolers of food, so the ability to lift and transport them safely is required. Training will be provided for at least two food runs to ensure volunteers are comfortable with the routes and process before serving independently.

This is a great opportunity for individuals or pairs who want to serve our community in a practical, hands-on way and help provide consistent meals for those we serve.
