Our mission is to feed individuals at-risk for COVID-19, who are sick, in self-isolation, or in quarantine. We have made agreements with local restaurants to provide rations (dinner plus next day lunch) for $10 plus tax, that we deliver every day for free to our members.
As a dispatcher, you will play a central role at HelpBerkeley.org. Dispatchers are applied to many roles on the site (you will not be doing all of these, don’t worry!):
provide tech support to our customers (often older adults unfamiliar with online tech),
manage ration deliveries,
design marketing programs to reach out to those who may need our help, and
help organize the site and workflow.
We need to work very hard at making it possible to scale HelpBerkeley to 1,000 meals a day or more
Please volunteer as a dispatcher and help control this pandemic in our town: register on the site, then reply to this thread!
Also, if you are a BHS student, please include this in your message so we can add you to BHS student group on the forum.
Hey @maya welcome to the site, thanks so much for volunteering your time!
I just made you a dispatcher and a driver, so you can now see the dispatcher and driver-only subcategories (subcats) of the website.
Your first task is to familiarize yourself with the site. The best way to do that is to read the New dispatcher welcome (only accessible by dispatchers). Create a new topic in the /Dispatch/ category (found on the main page of the site) if you have any questions, and I or another staff member will explain anything .
After that, please find your way into the Dispatch General area: can you discuss your availability with us? I tagged you in the Dispatcher Availability thread.

@ksksks1 and @bewell, I’m sorry for the long wait. It looks like the website platform flagged you both as robots, so your posts were invisible to us. Now we see you.
Anyways, thank you for volunteering for us, welcome to Help Berkeley!
I have made you both dispatchers, so you can now see the dispatcher subcategories (subcats) of the website.
