Description: This volunteer will support with food insecurity in the Atlanta community. With many recent updates and changes due to COVID-19 multiple individuals and families are not able to work; or may not have access to the food initiatives they typically access. Hands On Atlanta will be operating 2 sites in partnership with Horizons. Volunteers will load and unload five-day meal packs and premade meals onto buses to be distributed to families at distribution points throughout the city.

Safety: As we plan for and prepare for projects, we are keeping safety as a top priority and following CDC and WHO guidelines. We ask that if you have been sick, travelled, or been exposed to someone who has COVID-19 in the last 14 days you do not sign up for the project. Our team is taking extra precautions and have masks and gloves that must be worn, and hand sanitizer at check in. If you are in a more at-risk demographic for COVID-19 (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/specific-groups/high-risk-complications.html) we would ask you to consider not volunteering at this time. If you are not comfortable being in groups of 10-12 at this time, this opportunity is not for you.



Qualifications: We are looking for someone who is comfortable being outside for the full project, lifting up to 30 pounds, and standing for up to 2 hours.



Ideal Candidates: Individuals passionate about volunteerism, community members with flexible schedules, college and graduate students, individuals that are not in COVID-19 high-risk groups.



Locations: Thomasville Heights Elementary, and Woodward Academy
