ROCKFORD: Neighborhood Market - CHECK-IN ASSISTANCE

Help welcome and check-in neighbors to our Neighborhood Market in Rockford!

Volunteers will assist with checking in neighbors who arrive to shop the market for groceries. This will provide a great deal of support for our Neighborhood Market team and offer the opportunity to provide another welcoming face for our neighbors when they arrive for their first time or if they shop weekly. A comfort using computers and an inability to work in a busy, changing environment is a must for this volunteer opportunity. 

What is required?

Volunteers will utilize the Link2Feed software to check neighbors in for their shopping visit, set up new accounts, update neighbor account information, and assist with account-related issues. Training will be provided but a general knowledge of how to use computers and systems is preferred. Volunteer must sign a Link2Feed privacy agreement at the beginning of their first shift.

This is an indoor, seated task. An ability to converse in Spanish is helpful.

Please check out this opportunity if you are interested in volunteering on a weekly basis, at least. 

LOCATION ADDRESS:

NIFB Neighborhood Market
1397 Sandy Hollow Road in Rockford

Volunteers should arrive 15 minutes prior to the stated shift time. All volunteers MUST be at least 18-years old to help with this opportunity. Please wear FULLY ENCLOSED shoes when you volunteer and DRESS COMFORTABLY. 

Please park on the west end of the building - follow signage for VOLUNTEER PARKING.

We recommend you leave valuables in your vehicles; however, lockers are available if you'd like to bring your own lock.

Please register online to volunteer. If you have any questions, please send an email to the Volunteer Team at volunteer@northernilfoodbank.org.

Hope to see you there!
