Back Up Team Leader - Packing Bags

Save to Favorites

Bags of shelf-stable food are packed in preparation for them to later be delivered to the Ossining Children's Center, and the homebound. We are looking for a volunteer to partner with the current Team Leader to provide additional support and back up, as needed.

Tuesday Afternoon Packing Bags takes place from 2:00 - 3:30 PM, on Tuesdays prior to the 1st and 3rd Thursday of each month

Responsibilities include:

• Contact the Delivery Team Leaders to determine the number of bags needed to be packed, as the number changes each week

• Send reminder to volunteers and when on site, review the packing duties to verify they understand the tasks (as needed per volunteer)
• Open the building, unlock the packing area, turn on the lights
• Count out the sets of bags to be double-bagged by volunteers
• Place signs indicating the food items and quantities volunteers will pack in each bag (changes each week)
• Monitor the quantities of food items in each category, tally those items that need reordering
• Determine any extra food items for packing that week, as necessary
• Supervise the packing / placement of packed bags in storage area (assist as needed)
• Upon completion, tidy, lights off and lock up the packing area and lock up the building
• Contact the Purchasing Coordinator to resupply bags and food items
