Volunteers are needed to assist with a food distribution at JFS Housing in Brown Deer. The food distribution will provide residents of Bradley Crossing and Deerwood Crossing shelf stable food items to prevent food disparities.
All volunteers will meet at Bradley Crossing and from there will be split into two groups. One group will responsible for distributing food bags at Bradley Crossing. The other will load the food bags onto the JFS Housing van for transport to Deerwood Crossing, and unload and distribute the bags to the residents. We anticipate an end time of 2:00 pm, but there is a chance the distribution may conclude sooner.
Volunteers must be able to lift and carry upwards of 25 pounds. Closed toed shoes are required and dressing for the weather is encouraged as volunteers will be outside while loading and unloading the JFS Housing van.
In order to provide a safe environment for volunteers, staff, and clients we welcome volunteers who:

- Have not encountered anyone who tested positive for COVID-19 in the past two weeks.
