Pinellas County School Board Request for Food Service Distribution Assistance

Thank you for considering volunteering with us! We are assisting residents affected by the COVID-19 Pandemic in Pinellas County, Florida. The Pinellas County School Board has requested volunteers for 30 schools across the county starting 10/29/2020 until 12/17/2020. Teams of 6 per shift /per location will be handing out meals, curbside at the schools.There will be Thursday evenings shifts from either 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. or 4:45 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. depending on the school. (Please consider arriving 30 minutes prior to the start time.) Volunteers must be physically able to lift about 20 lbs. (coolers filled with cold packaged meals).  Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to include masks, face shields, and gloves will be provided. Tables/carts will be used to control distance to cars/walk-ups.

Keep in mind, 60 years of age or older, with underlying health conditions are most at risk. We ask that if you fall into this category we request that you consider participating only in any online and remote opportunities. Therefore, our age maximum is 59 and we will not be able to approve anyone over this age, regardless of health status. Our minimum age as a single volunteer is 18. If you are between the ages of 13-17 and would like to volunteer, you may do so with a parent or guardian or as part of an organized team with a team leader who is 18 or older.  Please click the "Express Interest as a Team," and register together.  

Below is an extensive list of the volunteer opportunity sign-ups.  We appreciate your patience while scrolling through to select shifts.  Please only express interest in ONE shift per day, per person.  Once you sign-up to volunteer, you will be required to complete a Registration and a Medical Screening Form that will be sent to you via email. The forms will be sent in PDF format.  Download the forms to your computer, open it in Adobe and fill them out. Save the version you fill out and email the forms back to us as an attachment. You may also send back a scanned version of the forms or take pictures of the forms and emailing them to us. Volunteers will then be selected after Medical Screening responses are reviewed. Once verified, you will be notified. All individuals will also be required to complete the forms mentioned above.

Your initial selection may be filled between the time your express interest and are verified as an approved volunteer.  You will be notified if/when this happens.  Consider alternative locations that are still available by expressing interest again through this site.
