General Support Volunteers

COVID-19 notes:

We have relaxed criteria for posting volunteer opportunities due to the urgent need for COVID-19 Response. Volunteers are responsible for confirming the legitimacy of the group or organization(s) they are working with. Never hand over money or confidential information to groups looking for volunteers.
Please confirm that the organization you want to volunteer with can ensure your safety.

DESCRIPTION

*MINIMUM AGE TO PARTICIPATE: 18*

As an essential service, Daily Bread continues to operate and needs the support of volunteers to help maintain our food distribution operation. Each month, we are seeing the number of people accessing food banks increase and we need to make sure we continue to supply food to those experience poverty and hunger.

You should be comfortable standing for extended periods of time as well as lifting 20-30 lbs repetitively.

You will be trained on the following tasks:

Packaging pre-packaged hampers
Sorting/processing of donated food
Removal of waste and general cleaning
Other tasks as needed by the production staff

We've taken the following steps to ensure a safe environment:

Screening all volunteers upon entry
Limiting the number of volunteers on-site at any given time to ensure proper social distancing
Requiring that masks are worn at all times unless taking a break in a designated area
Increasing cleaning of all common areas
Providing gloves and masks as needed

Location: 191 New Toronto Street, Toronto ON, M8V 2E7

Minimum Commitment: 1 shift per week
