Albuquerque, NM – Roadrunner Food Bank has implemented a new online scheduling system for volunteers. The new system allows community members to schedule their own volunteer appointments without having to call us to pinpoint a volunteer time that works for both parties.
The new registration process provides 24/7 access to book a volunteer time slot via the Food Bank website. Community members simply need to visit www.rrfb.org and click on the “Volunteer” button to create a customer profile along with a username and passphrase.
Melody Wattenbarger, president and CEO of Roadrunner Food Bank said, “This new software is much more convenient for those wishing to volunteer at the Food Bank. It puts our schedule right into the hands of the users. Plus, it allows the user to change or modify appointments right from their home computer.”
The benefit of the new online scheduling system eliminates time on the phone and phone tag between parties. It also provides an option to send the volunteer e-notifications and e-reminders. The scheduling system allows for up to 75 volunteers every two hours.
Some volunteers will still need to contact to set up their visit including groups with more than 30 people, special needs volunteers, and volunteers who require a signature for service hour verification. Volunteers with those criteria should continue to contact Christina Berlin at or 505.349.8825.
Roadrunner Food Bank is New Mexico's largest non-profit organization dedicated to ending hunger in New Mexico. In 2009, Roadrunner Food Bank distributed more than 20 million pounds of food through its own programs, a statewide network of nearly 600 partner agencies, and five regional food banks. In New Mexico, Roadrunner Food Bank is the only member of Feeding America. Roadrunner Food Bank and our affiliated agencies serve nearly 40,000 children and adults every single week. New Mexico continues to be ranked as one of the hungriest states in the nation.
