Food Rescue Volunteer Driver

Food Rescue volunteer drivers will carefully drive WayForward vehicles to pick up food from local retail food partners and unload the food at WayForward. Some volunteers may prefer to use their own vehicle for smaller donations.

Because of volunteers, these critical donations become available to WayForward food pantry guests who need help keeping food on the table.

• Safely drive, load, unload, and park the WayForward truck or van, as needed
• Work as part of a team to complete all tasks in a safe manner (including team lifting)
• Follow established procedures and the direction of the Food Access Manager

REQUIREMENTS: 

• No previous experience is required though some experience driving a van or large truck is ideal (a special license is not required to drive the WayForward truck or van)
• Current driver’s license with at least 5 years of driving experience 
• Must be 21+ years of age
• Able to regularly lift 20-40+ pounds
• Willingness to become trained on a manual/electric pallet jack and the liftgate on the WayForward truck for larger donations
• Able to stand and walk throughout the shift
