About This Opportunity
Bright Lights For Africa Foundation (BLFA) is a Calgary-based charitable nonprofit supporting African descent, newcomer, and underserved families through community-driven programs, including our Black Food Hub.
We are looking for reliable Volunteer Food Delivery Drivers to help deliver prepared food hampers to families in Calgary who may experience barriers to picking up their hampers.
Volunteers will pick up prepared hampers from BLFA’s community hub, La Passerelle | The Link, and deliver them to assigned households within Calgary. Delivery routes and instructions will be provided before each shift.
Responsibilities include:
• Picking up prepared food hampers from the Black Food Hub
• Safely transporting hampers to assigned households
• Following assigned routes and delivery instructions
• Respecting participant privacy and keeping addresses and personal information confidential
• Communicating with the Food Hub Coordinator regarding completed or unsuccessful deliveries
• Treating all participants with dignity, respect, and professionalism
Requirements:
• Valid driver’s licence
• Access to a reliable vehicle
• Comfortable driving within Calgary
• Reliable and able to follow instructions
• Able to safely carry food hampers
• Good communication skills
• Commitment to confidentiality and respectful community service
Previous volunteer or food-program experience is not required. A brief BLFA orientation and delivery procedure will be provided.
This is a flexible opportunity. Volunteers do not need to commit every week. We welcome people who can help occasionally, monthly, on weekends, or on selected delivery days.
