United Way of Mahaska County Volunteer Opportunity – Take Along Program
Help us make sure local students don’t go hungry over the weekend!
United Way of Mahaska County is looking for volunteers to deliver food for our Take Along Program, which provides weekend meals to students identified as food insecure.
What volunteers do:
-
Pick up food bags at the United Way office (102 1st Ave East). The food will already be packed in plastic sacks and placed in large totes.
- Note: totes can be heavy, so we suggest bringing a friend to help lift and load them.
- Deliver first to Oskaloosa Elementary. Drop off the full totes, then load up the empty totes from the previous week.
- Deliver next to Oskaloosa Middle School. A rolling cart will be available to help transport totes to the main entrance. Pick up the empty totes from the week before.
- Return all empty totes to the United Way office.
How to help:
- Sign up for the date(s) you’re available.
- You can pick up the food anytime between 11:30 am - 2:00 pm
- Please indicate which day you’d like to volunteer when signing up. By helping with deliveries, you’ll make a direct impact on students in our community and help ensure they have food through the weekend.
