Food Bank Delivery Driver (non-CDL)

Second Harvest Food Bank

Springfield, Ohio | Full-Time | Hourly Non-Exempt

More Than a Driver. A Lifeline for the Community.

Every day, thousands of pounds of food move through Second Harvest Food Bank on their way to families, seniors, children, and neighbors experiencing food insecurity. As a Food Bank Delivery Driver, you'll be the critical link connecting donated food with the people who need it most.

This isn't a typical driving job.

If you enjoy being on the road, take pride in safe driving, value customer service, and want a job with purpose, we'd love to meet you.
