Drive Change: Meal Delivery Volunteers Needed
Want to hit the road to make a difference? The Nashville Food Project is recruiting volunteers to deliver meals to our community partners across the city! Each week, TNFP distributes thousands of meals, and with your help, we hope to reach more plates than ever in 2025! To help us achieve this goal, we are recruiting volunteers for weekly or bi-weekly shifts to deliver meals across Nashville using our distribution vehicles.
What to Expect from the Opportunity:
Routes typically include visits to 1-3 partner organizations and take approximately 2-3 hours to complete. Volunteers will be provided with a route delivery schedule at the start of each volunteer shift and will use TNFP’s food distribution vehicles to deliver meals to community partners. Volunteers will attend a training session with TNFP’s Food Access team prior to their first route, which will provide all the necessary information for volunteers to successfully complete a meal delivery route.
Daily Tasks Include
- Loading TNFP delivery vehicles with the items needed for that day’s route
- Pulling hot food from the ovens & recording the temperature of that hot food prior to departure on a route
- Delivering meals to each TNFP partner site in a timely manner while interacting with our contacts at each site
- Communicating any feedback or new delivery information with the rest of the Food Access team
- Keeping up with vehicle cleanliness
Ideal Volunteers Will Be
- Able to commit to their identified schedules and communicate any non-emergency changes to their availability with ample notice
- Comfortable working independently (after a period of training), problem solving, and navigating the use of Google or Apple Maps
- Able to lift and move chafing pans of food with and without the use of carts
- Comfortable driving TNFP distribution vehicles - No CDL Required!
- 18+ years old (required)
Schedule Requirements:
We’re looking for volunteers that can commit to delivering meals on a recurring basis. Ideally once/week or every other week - not open on weekends! Shifts start at 8:30am and may run to 11:30am depending on daily route needs and traffic!
Registration:
After expressing interest, our Volunteer Engagement Manager will reach out to schedule an orientation with our Share Team. "Expressing interest" on Hands On Nashville will NOT sign you up for this shift nor does our page on Hands On Nashville reflect the accurate number of spots available for any given shift.
