Produce Bag Delivery Drivers

Produce Bag Delivery Drivers- a Fresh Experience!

We are looking for volunteer drivers to pick up produce bags at our FarmShare aggregation hub in Derwood (located at Common Root Farm) and deliver the bags to 6-8 families in a neighborhood community. Each volunteer's route is the same each week, which offers volunteers the opportunity to have a connection with the families. We do our best to match volunteers to nearby communities where you live in order to minimize the carbon footprint and to make the best use of your time. In addition to home deliveries, we also deliver directly to partner MCPS schools which help us as a central pick up location for families.

This volunteer position is great for those people that like to have something on the calendar on a consistent basis.  We understand that things do come up, kids get sick, and we all need time for summer vacation! For these reasons, each route will also have a pool of back up drivers so volunteers can have some flexibility as needed.

In the past, volunteers have enjoyed this opportunity as a way to make a direct difference in people's lives. It is always great to donate canned goods to a food pantry- but what a unique experience this offers volunteers to place a bag of FRESH PRODUCE right into the hands of the person that it will benefit. You see the grateful smile on their face. You get to hear the very sincere THANK YOU!   

Produce Delivery Day might just become the highlight of your week!
