The Associate represents Neighborhood House with reliability, care, and radical hospitality while supporting safe, efficient food market operations.

Food Market and Donation Support
  • Help unload donated products upon arrival and move items to designated receiving, storage, refrigeration, or freezer areas.
  • Assist food market staff and volunteers with receiving, sorting, stocking, and rotating donated food as directed.
  • Maintain a clean and orderly cargo van and remove boxes, spills, debris, and other materials after each route.
  • Support other food market receiving, stocking, donation, or distribution tasks when the scheduled route is complete and time allows.
  • Provide culturally responsive service aligned with Neighborhood House standards for accessibility, inclusion, respect, and radical hospitality.
Safety, Communication, and Documentation
  • Follow safe food handling, lifting, loading, unloading, and vehicle operation practices at all times.
  • Complete required route, mileage, temperature, donation, vehicle, and incident documentation accurately and on time.
  • Communicate promptly with the supervisor about route delays, partner concerns, rejected or unsafe products, vehicle issues, injuries, or changes in donation volume.
  • Participate in required training and obtain and maintain Neighborhood House van certification.
