We need your help!
A neighbour is in urgent need of a ride to the Surrey Food Bank at 13478 78 Avenue, Surrey on Friday to pick up food and supplies. She'll need a ride every two weeks to and from the Food Bank. She is very flexible with dates and times so if you are available any time during the week, please consider responding to this opportunity. The logistics can be agreed upon from there!
How this works
We'll provide you with details to contact the neighbour when you respond. Please organize the best time for pick up and off directly with the neighbour.
We’ll remind the neighbour to wear a mask, sanitize hands before entering the vehicle and to sit in the rear passenger seat but not directly behind you.
Safety tips
- Wear a face mask that fits snuggly over your nose and mouth and loops behind your ears or ties behind your head.
- If the weather permits, keep the windows down to allow airflow.
- Carry a bottle of hand sanitizer to sanitize your hands or carry a pair of disposable gloves.
- Don’t touch your mask while wearing it – if you accidentally touch it, sanitize your hands.
- Use paper towels and disinfectant to wipe down the car doors (exterior, interior and frame), seats, seatbelts, steering wheel before and after driving anyone outside your immediate bubble.
- Dispose of dirty paper towels and gloves.
- Dispose one-time use masks or sanitize reusable face masks.

Your health and safety are important to us

Avoid touching your face and in particular your eyes, nose and mouth.
Practice good hand hygiene by washing your hands thoroughly and often. Wash hands with soap for a minimum of 20 seconds and rinse under clean running water.
If you are unwell, please stay home and do not volunteer. If you are at all unsure of your health status, the BC Centre for Disease Control’s online self-assessment tool is available at https://covid19.thrive.health/.
