About

We will be hosting a special Tailgate (Mobile Distribution) at Second Harvest on this day so we will need volunteers for inside AND outside jobs as we

Outside, volunteers will be placing food items directly into vehicles, directing traffic, handing out food pantry flyers, or helping count the number of people being served. 

Contact karrowood@curehunger.org or call 765-287-8698 for help and/or for registration of minors ages 16 yrs and up. 

Requirements

  • Tailgate volunteers must be 16 yrs of age or older.
  • Volunteers must wear closed toed shoes.
  • Volunteers must wear a safety vest (SHFB will provide one if you don't have one).
  • Typically a Tailgates last 2 hours, however, we ask volunteers to arrive 30 min. before the Tailgate starts to assist with setting up and stay 30 min. after the Tailgate ends to help with clean up.
  • Please do not come if you are ill or have symptoms of an illness. 

Inside, our main focus will be packing (providing programs with pre-packed bags that can be handed out drive-thru style) and produce sorting. There may be additional tasks if all orders are filled and items sorted. 

There is a wait list available if registration is currently full (be sure to select “waitlist” during registration).

Please note: if you are a student PLEASE REGISTER WITH YOUR SCHOOL EMAIL!!! if you don't, you could be creating duplicate accounts and will not see all of your impacts on 1 account! If you think you might already have multiple accounts because of this- Please contact GivePulse admin to have your accounts merged- we can not do that for you (GP Tips and support)

Contact rselke@curehunger.org or call 765-287-8698 for help with registration and to register minors. Minors should not be registered on-line and will need a paper waiver with parent/legal guardian information/signature.

Requirement Details
  • Volunteers must wear sturdy closed toed shoes (no crocs, sandals or flip flops).
  • Volunteers need to dress comfortably and appropriately for warehouse type work with food products (shorts & skirts should be of a length to not interfere with your ability to bend and/or reach, no midriff/belly exposed, no spaghetti straps or tank tops).
  • Volunteers will often need to wear gloves and change them as needed (non-latex gloves available).
  • We ask that you wrap up the task you are working on about 10 min. before you need to leave and help with clean up as well as sanitize your area.
  • No volunteers should come if they are ill-there are thousands of people relying on us to provide additional resources-do not come if you are ill or have symptoms of an illness.
  • Please 24 hours in advance (unless ill, then you are welcome to call us and let us know if you are able to do so).
Perks
The biggest perk of being a part of our work is realizing that you are helping thousands of people across our 8 county service area- we couldn't do what we do without you!
Parking Details
When you pull into the lot, go “in-between” the two industrial buildings. Continue to drive down the "alley" until you come into another parking area. Keep going. Our "Front" door is all the way in the back by the flag pole and under the green awning. Park where volunteers are being directed to park because this will be a drive through day.
