One of our clients' greatest needs is access to food. Each year we serve as a food pantry for our refugee families to provide them with produce, bread, milk, and other food. Volunteers are needed every Tuesday morning to pick up the donations from Foodlink and deliver it to our building for the distribution later in the day. Volunteers are trained to go through the "shop through" and pick out food appropriate for the diets of our client population, perform some moderate lifting, and drive the van of food to our facility.
