- Lift 30-50 lbs. repeatedly
- Use hand tools, like utility knives
- Move inventory using a pallet jack (don’t worry, we’ll provide training)
Ensure packing sessions run smoothly from the flow of people and materials, to tracking meal production.
Lead a Christian prayer over packed meals, inviting volunteers to join in if they’d like, as prayer is an essential part of what we do.
Maintain a clean and food-safe facility. Do laundry and clean floors, dishes and bathrooms throughout the day.
Finally, Program Coordinators have high energy and a tendency to fill in the gaps in a fast-paced, team environment.
