Volunteer
North
Helpline ALWAYS has a need for volunteers! Whether you can offer
a few hours a month or consistent time every week, North Helpline
can use you.
Tuesday and Thursday
People are needed to sort donated food. Hours are between 9:00 AM
and 1:30 PM. Time of arrival and length of time is up to the volunteer.
Food arrives in boxes, bags, and crates and will need to be sorted
by food type for easier distribution on Wednesday, Thursday and
Saturday.
Wednesday and Thursday
Volunteers are needed to assist with distribution of food, carrying
food to cars, and restocking food being distributed. The shift will
be from 9:00 AM to 1:45 PM on Wednesdays and 3:45PM to 7:30PM on
Thursdays.
Friday
People are needed to bag produce and fruit and may also assist with
bagging bulk items such as rice, dog food, potatoes, etc. Bread
and pastry must also be sorted. A full truck arrives about 8:00AM
and another at 12PM. Food must be bagged, sorted and put away. Time
of arrival should be either 8:00am or 12:00pm with flexibility in
between. Muscle is also needed to off-load the trucks.
Saturday
Two shifts of volunteers needed. The first shift starts at 9:15
AM and ends at 11:15 AM. The second shift begins at 11:00 AM and
ends at 1:30 PM. Volunteers should arrive 20 minutes before their
shift starts. Volunteers may assist with handing out food, carrying
food to cars, or restocking food being distributed. Volunteers can
also arrive at 8:00 AM to help set up. Please call Alecia at 206-367-3477
to schedule volunteer time on Saturdays.
Any Day Of The Week
Volunteers are needed to pick up food at grocery stores every day
of the week. This is a commitment of about one hour for every store
from which you volunteer to pick up. You need to be able to lift
50#'s for stores other than a Starbucks outlet and you should have
a large car, van or truck to carry the items you pick up. If you
pick up from a Starbuck store you will be asked to bag the pastries
that you receive.
EMERGENCY SERVICES

times a month. This group of volunteers works on Tuesday, Wednesday
