Kerr Street Mission

Working as a team of 2 people (1 adult + one student aged 14+), transport unsold baked goods from a local bakery to KSM.  This is a great volunteering opportunity for families.

Scheduling is very flexible and based on your availability.  Shifts typically start at 6pm or 7pm, for one hour.  We try to provide families with a minimum of 1-2 shifts per month.

**Please note that we require only one volunteer application per family. The application must be completed by the adult who will act as the KSM representative and must contain that adults' information.**

Responsibilities:

• Using your vehicle, you and your co-volunteer will arrive at Lakeshore Road bakery location when the store closes and package up all of the unsold product.
• Use gloves and bags provided by the bakery and follow the packing guidelines to ensure sanitary transportation of the bread products.
• Load up your vehicle and deliver the packaged bread to the volunteers/staff at the Kerr Street Mission.
• Each shift earns 1 volunteer hour.  Shifts typically start at 6pm or 7pm, depending on the day.

Requirements:

• One person in the volunteer pair must be 18+ with a valid drivers' license and access to a vehicle.
• Punctuality
• Reliability
• Ability to lift approximately 20 lbs. of bread product.
• Diligence to complete the job in a thorough and timely manner.
• Good problem-solving ability.

Commitment: Long-term.  Many students achieve their community hours goals by volunteering with this program throughout high school.
