Opportunities From: Jewish Family and Child Services of Portland

JFCS has started a new partnership with Congregatoin Neveh Shalom in which their food pantry bags are offered to our clients. This is a wonderful opportunity that requires a little help from volunteers. We need 1-2 reliable volunteers to help transport pre-packaged food bags from Congregation Neveh Shalom to the downtown JFCS offices. This role ensures that essential food resources reach individuals and families in need in a timely and efficient manner.

This is a minimal time commitment with pickups and drop-offs scheduled 1–2 times monthly. Dates and times will be pre-planned and coordinated between the volunteer, JFCS staff, and the CNS Food Pantry volunteers.

Requirements:

Access to a reliable vehicle and a valid driver’s license.Ability to lift and carry food bags (Max of 25 pounds).Willingness to meet with CNS for prior approval, as CNS operates a closed campus for security reasons.Ability to transport during regular business hours, Monday - Friday 9:00 AM - 4:30 PM.Dependable, punctual, and comfortable communicating via email or phone for scheduling.

This is a great opportunity for someone looking for a flexible, low-hour way to support food access in our community.
