Opportunities From: Second Helpings

As part of our Healthy Food Initiative, Second Helpings purchases additional protein to support healthy meals for our partner food pantries across the Lowcountry. Our Chicken Runs are periodic routes that help ensure this food reaches local agencies.

Volunteers serve as a driver and crew member, traveling to the Lowcountry Food Bank in Early Branch, SC to pick up cases of chicken and deliver them to partner agencies. Each route requires one driver and one crew member (signed up separately).

This is a meaningful, team-based opportunity to help provide nutritious food to our community.

Physical Requirements:
This role involves light to moderate physical activity. Volunteers should be comfortable getting in and out of a truck, lifting and moving boxes, and working on their feet for periods of time. Some cases may weigh up to 30–50 pounds.

Saturday, May 9 is the US Postal Service's annual Stamp Out Hunger food drive event! Residents are invited to leave a bag of non-perishable food by their mailbox, and the postal workers pick them up as they complete their mail delivery routes.

When the trucks return to the post office, Second Helpings volunteers help unload the food, and place the food in one of our trucks for further distribution to our agency partners.

We are looking for a truck driver to meet up at Hilton Head's South End post office (zip code 29928). We'll be at their loading dock, which is around the back of the post office, facing Arrow Road.

We hope to see you there!
