Description

Looking for a way to help those in need?

Midwest Food Bank is looking for volunteers to pick up food from our local grocers. Fresh and frozen foods are brought back to our warehouse and distributed to multiple food pantries and feeding programs that would have to purchase foods or do without.

Volunteers use our vehicles. We have 2 routes that run throughout the week. One of our 2 routes does not require any special drivers license. We are also seeking volunteers that may have a "C" drivers license to help operate the vehicle for the second route (or may be willing to obtain a C license).

Routes run mornings starting at 7:30 a.m. Monday through Friday. Some lifting and loading required. Approximately 3-4 hours needed. There are 2 volunteers that work together on each route.

You can sign up for once a month or several times a month. It is up to you! We have many great volunteers who support these routes and would love to have you join us! 

We currently have a great need for help with these routes. We would love to explore if this is a way that you can give back to those in need!  If you have any questions, please contact Ileen Grebner at 309-691-5270 ext. 1 or igrebner@midwestfoodbank.org

Thank YOU!
