Are you interesting in becoming a regular volunteer with us? Check out this video made by one of our volunteers, providing some background into what we do each day to prepare for our bi-weekly food distributions.
Interested in Volunteering with your family, friends or co-workers?
Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate volunteer days or groups who wish to volunteer just once. We do hope to be able to provide that service once we have our new, permanent space!
