This is a part-time in-person role, with the expectation that 15-20 hours each week will be spent running pop-up distributions in collaboration with other team members and volunteers.

  • working with volunteers to unload the product
  • guiding volunteer groups through their shift of distributing food

We are looking for passionate individuals with a strong interest in community service and working in the nonprofit sector.  Responsibilities: 
  • Ensuring efficient delivery of food and set-up/breakdown of food distribution pop-ups
  • Management of a team of volunteers at pop-ups
  • Loading in pallets of produce and driving our cargo van to and from distribution sites
  • Organizing and setting up tables and tents at distribution sites
  • Representing Sharing Excess at these events, answering questions and explaining our mission to community members 
  • Communicate with new volunteer groups  

Qualifications: 
  • Strong interest in the nonprofit or community service sector 
  • Experience working in a team setting, especially organizing and managing volunteers
  • Passion for food justice and ensuring equitable food access in our communities 
  • Resident of Philadelphia and flexible IN-PERSON availability (Food Distributions typically happen in West and South Philadelphia with locations subject. The cargo van and initial produce pickup are located in West Philadelphia. Pop-ups happen in the afternoons generally.)  
  • Valid driver’s license with no restrictions
  • Able to comfortably lift up to 50lbs at once, and stand on your feet for a few hours at events
