We are joining Table of Blessings for their mobile food distribution. This is hands-on work serving families in the community directly. Our job is to show up ready, follow the host organization's lead, and bring PIK's heart to every interaction.

⚠️ Important: Only 5 PIK volunteer spots are available for this event. Spots are limited — sign up below to hold yours.

This is a community event. We are guests in Table of Blessings' operation. That means we follow their protocols, work where they need us, and represent Postured In Kindness with excellence the whole time. 💛

Roles & What to Expect

This is a mobile food distribution. Our volunteers will be assigned where they're needed most. Possible roles include:

🚗 Car Loading

Helping load food into cars as families drive through. This is active, physical work. Be ready to move.

🛍️ Bagging & Packing

Assembling food bags or boxes for distribution. Precision and speed matter — keep things moving.

🤝 Community Interaction

Greeting families, directing traffic flow, answering questions. Lead with warmth and dignity. No judgment — ever.

📦 Logistics Support

Restocking, organizing supplies, keeping the distribution line flowing. Every role matters equally.

Role assignments are the host organization's call. You may not get the role you requested — that's okay. Show up ready to serve wherever you're needed. That's what makes PIK excellent.

What to Wear & Bring

👕 Wear

Comfortable, casual, you can get dirty clothes
Closed-toe shoes (required for safety — no flip flops)
Layers if it's cool outside — this is an outdoor event
If you have a PIK shirt, wear it proudly

🎒 Bring

A fully charged phone
Water bottle — water and drinks are provided, but stay hydrated
Lock valuables in your car. Bags can't be stored in the church.
Your positive energy 💛

This is an outdoor event. Dress for the weather. Check the forecast for Plano TX on November 18 and plan accordingly. Layers are smart.

PIK Volunteer Code of Conduct

When you wear this name, you carry Postured In Kindness with you. Here's what that means in practice:

✅ Dignity first. Treat every community member with the same respect you'd want for your own family.
✅ No photos of community members without explicit consent. Ever.
✅ Follow the host's lead. Table of Blessings runs this operation. We support them — we don't override them.
✅ Show up on time. If something comes up and you can't make it, notify us immediately at Posturedinkindness@gmail.com so your spot can be filled.

PIK is only 5 people at this event. If you don't show and don't notify us, that's a gap that can't be filled last-minute. Please take this commitment seriously.
