The Community Food Bank needs volunteer leads to help distribute shelf-stable and fresh groceries to families and seniors in our community! Volunteers will assist with loading product into client cars, and do other tasks related to feeding our community at our drive-through distributions.

For a safe and fulfilling volunteer experience, volunteers must complete safety trainings, and should feel comfortable working outside for the duration of the shift in variable temperatures, and be able to perform physical work (more below).

Be sure to look at our COVID-19 updates and recommendations before volunteering, and go to the qualifications page of your account to complete necessary trainings.

PARKING MAP & DIRECTIONS

1. I have attached a parking map. Please approach from the NORTH on Country Club moving SOUTH to the entrance gate at our country club location, 3003 S. Country Club Rd. That is, do not move north from Ajo on Country Club. Come south from 36th or Country Club (arrows in the image indicate this pattern of movement).
   1. We are asking this because we are the client line for our food distribution will stretch south along Country Club road (that is, towards Ajo). If you approach from the south moving north, you will get caught in the client line - and I have no idea what to do in that case save for you to turn around and approach from another direction.
2. You will come through a middle gate to park in the designated area on the attached picture, labeled "Park". The gate should be opened. We will have a check-in station set up similar to what we were doing at Kino somewhere in that area. We will do an orientation.
