> [@MeSi](#): > > was trying to register as a volunteer. @MeSi, no big deal at all! You forgot to check the “I want to volunteer” option. Would you like to be a driver, a food packer, or a dispatcher (i…e back office work from home)? Or would you you like us to contact you on the phone to discuss options? ---

Hi @MeSi , welcome to [HelpBerkeley.org](http://helpberkeley.org/) and thanks very much for volunteering! Our dispatchers have made you a driver and a packer, so now you can access the driver-only and packer-only subcategories (subcats) on the website. If you are free on Mondays 12-2:30pm, or 2:30-4:30pm, packing is a perfect choice. If you are free on Mondays 3-5pm, or any evening 5-7pm, driving is a great choice. Or, of course, you can do both. Let us know what you prefer right away, and we’ll set you up with either a packing assignment, or driver orientation. There is packing this Monday at 12:00pm or at 2:30pm. The next driver training sessions, on Zoom, are listed on this thread: [https://go.helpberkeley.org/t/new-driver-training-this-week/874](https://go.helpberkeley.org/t/new-driver-training-this-week/874). **Can you reply to the thread and let us know which session you will attend?** Until then, **here is a link to the core information required for drivers to ramp up:** [https://go.helpberkeley.org/t/new-driver-welcome-please-read-this/66](https://go.helpberkeley.org/t/new-driver-welcome-please-read-this/66) _(only clickable by drivers)_ . Let us know if you have any questions! Thank you for again for volunteering your time with us, we’re glad to have you on board! ---

The link to the driver training zooms says private. Also, I see no info on being a packer. ---

Can you reply to the following thread and let us know your availability: [https://go.helpberkeley.org/t/packaging-and-bagging-needed-within-the-new-subsidized-meal-program/5773/](https://go.helpberkeley.org/t/packaging-and-bagging-needed-within-the-new-subsidized-meal-program/5773/). Thanks very much! We are really looking forward to work with you! Would you still like to get driver training at this time? Or will you focus on packing? ---
