Bilingual Grocery Shopper & Delivery Volunteer (Flexible)

Overview The Shopping Squad provides grocery assistance for Heights and Hills clients. Volunteers shop for clients, deliver groceries (mostly contactless) and receive reimbursement. How it Works Every Monday the Volunteer Department emails volunteers with client neighborhoods. Every Wednesday the department sends a “Shopping SOS” for trips that still need a volunteer. Respond only to the email for the trip you wish to help. Volunteer Frequency You can volunteer whenever you want. We only need a reply if you wish to help with a request; no reply is fine if you can’t help.
