We are searching for volunteers to help support the operation of the collaborative Over the Edge: Williamsport event on Friday, Sept. 23, from 3-10 p.m. The event will run in conjunction with UPMC's block party that same evening and is an opportunity to engage in a community event. Over the Edge is a fundraising event between the WASD Education Foundation, River Valley Regional YMCA and YWCA Northcentral PA. Since 2018, the event has generated more than $275,000 to benefit the mission of each of the participating nonprofits.

This year, we have moved the event to a Friday evening so that our participants will have the opportunity to "descend with the sun," while also joining in with UPMC to create a fun and exciting atmosphere for families in the Williamsport area.

Purpose: Grocery Bringers help carry out the mission of the nonprofit Bringing Justice Home. Our mission:

To foster the health and wellness of medically vulnerable neighbors facing food insecurity through the delivery of groceries and household supplies and through offering social support; and to engage the community in the work of justice through education, shared resources, and building just relationships.

Grocery Bringers provide neighbors greater access to healthy, affordable food and household supplies, thereby increasing household food security while extending the dignity of choice. Grocery Bringers also make connections across the many boundary lines that often divide us, making our community stronger.

Location: Grocery Bringers pick up groceries and household supplies from Kroger stores and deliver them to the homes of neighbors who may reside in any metro Louisville zip code. Bringers also pick up food at our pantry storage unit and deliver it to neighbors. Bringers may also be asked to pick up food at Dare to Care Food Bank and other locations and deliver it to the storage facility or directly to neighbors’ homes.

Key Responsibilities: (Note: Groceries and supplies will be paid for by Bringing Justice Home. Bringers provide their own transportation with no reimbursement.)

Pick up groceries to deliver to one to two neighbors (usually two).

Go into Kroger to pick up one or two items if unavailable in the pickup order, when applicable. We can provide the funds for this.

Deliver groceries to the neighbor’s front door or carry groceries inside for neighbors who require this assistance.

Contact the neighbor to notify them of completed delivery if you are doing contact-free drop-off.

Protect our neighbors who have chronic health conditions and/or are immunocompromised by using precautions such as masking and social distancing to keep everyone safe.

Bring any voiced or observed needs or concerns back to Bringing Justice Home’s Executive Director for review.

Submit Delivery Feedback form after completing each delivery
