Carol’s Kindness needs volunteers from Monday through Sunday every week to help pick up food donations from grocery stores and warehouses using your own vehicle. You will regularly be lifting 35 to 50 lb. Must submit proof of auto insurance. We also need a copy of your food handler certification if you have one. A truck or large car is a real plus.

We also need people for short notice pickups, mostly Monday through Friday but occasionally Saturday and Sunday. Coolers and sturdy crates for transporting are available at Carol’s.

Please sign up by 10:00 AM Saturday for the upcoming week. We may have extra pickups during the week. You can note availability for drop-offs at Free Fridges too.

Select all of your available times when signing up. Let us know in the comment field if you prefer certain times. Carol will send out the final schedule.

Most pickups are located in north Austin, with occasionally south pickups:
