The Christine B Foundation is a Bangor-based service-providing nonprofit striving to support those facing cancer by extending access to healthy food, nutritional information, and community connections essential to their strength and comfort.
The Cancer Nutrition Assistance Program through CBF offers access to both a Fresh Produce Prescription program at our pick up locations in Brewer and Dover-Foxcroft and Home Delivery of medically tailored grocery packages for patients with cancer, recent survivors, and their families. This program supports over 1,000 Mainers every year across the state, providing over 600,000 equivalent meals since March of 2020.
Thanks to 100+ volunteers working in various parts of this effort, CBF remains committed to keep this service at no cost to recipients.
Home Delivery Drivers:
The CBF is looking for volunteer Delivery Drivers to help with making home deliveries of CBF Nutrition Packages to homes in Piscataquis, Penobscot, Washington and Hancock County.
Each Nutrition Package is assembled to address the unique medical needs and preferences of each patient with cancer and their family. The Nutrition Packages are prepared and assembled at the Bangor Fulfillment Site picked up by the Home Delivery driver and dropped off at the patient's home.
Volunteer Role:
CBF is looking for volunteers with strong interpersonal and active listening skills, the ability to follow HIPAA guidelines and privacy policies, and the ability to demonstrate professionalism. This volunteer position is a patient-facing role, that requires reliable transportation.
CBF's Fulfillment Site is located in Bangor. However, for rural deliveries, CBF may be able to meet volunteer Home Delivery drivers closer to the home destination.
Households are eligible for grocery package deliveries once a week. CBF seeks volunteers who can designate a day of the week/time of day to be the primary driver for that home.
Volunteers can submit gas reimbursement at $0.25 per mile.
Days of the week and time of day can vary based on availability. Pick Up/Delivery times are Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday in the morning or afternoons.
