We’re launching a Saturday mobile pantry route next month and need two community liaisons (about 10 hours/week, Sat 8–12 plus prep). Where do you usually post roles like this to reach mission-minded folks, and if you’re between jobs or seeking purpose-driven work, message me. We have a modest stipend through a local church grant and a lot of neighbors we’re eager to serve well.
Got our last two liaisons by asking three nearby pastors to include a blurb in their Saturday email and by posting on Nextdoor with ‘Sat 8–12’ in the title; both roles filled in 5 days. > purpose-driven work, message me. We have a modest stipend through a local church grant and a That line converts — add the stipend amount and mileage upfront and you’ll get serious replies. If you try VolunteerMatch, expect more volume but slower screening; church newsletters and the local mutual-aid FB group were faster.
And i’ve had good luck posting similar roles on https://www.idealist.org and in local Facebook mutual-aid groups, framing it as ‘about 10 hours/week’ with a simple month-to-month commitment. We also invited prospects to a 60-minute ride-along before deciding — it’s a mini street team tryout. Small caveat: list the stipend and mileage upfront to cut down on back-and-forth.
I filled a Saturday pantry role by emailing the service-learning offices at two nearby colleges and the local AmeriCorps alumni group; the subject line ‘paid Saturday outreach (10 hrs/wk)’ got replies the same day. Building on @sophia_kennedy11, keep hours and stipend in the first line — small caveat: students disappear during finals, so keep one backup. Want a sample blurb?
