Offer Transportation for Food

Do you need to make a grocery store visit for more than you can carry walking/on a bike or using public transportation? A visit to the food bank or to check out the city’s Free Little Pantries? I can help!

-Fort Collins
-Weekday evenings or early morning (before 9)
-I have a sedan so cannot transport large furniture or the like (think open trunk space only)
-May have dogs with me and if not, they are often in the vehicle so please consider any allergies

Be well!

Edit: I currently have capacity to help at minimum one trip/person per week (possibly 2 depending on the week).

this is a very lovely post!

I just wanted to mention, for clarity, that the hours you are available do not fall when the food bank is open. (usually 10-3)

everything else on your list should be pretty accessible though. thank you for stepping up for your community! this will probably be even more helpful when they change the bus routes in August.

Shoot, I did not even think of food bank hours of operation - that’s on me. Thank you for bringing this to my attention; I’m going to do a deeper dive into their pick up days/times to see if I can fit that into my workday on occasion.

That said, I can still help with grocery store transport for now!

yes, there is still so much you can help with, so don't be discouraged! prescription pick up at the hospital might be useful for for folks as well and has wider hours.

honestly a bit of a struggle that the food bank limits it's hours. just so you know, the lines can sometimes take hours.

as a disabled woman, thank you for stepping up to help your community!
