We give out food boxes to those in need 5 days a week. We can't always keep up with the demand from the public. We need individuals or groups to help sort donated food and pack food bags so we can always have them available for those in need. Help is needed every Wednesday from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm and 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm.
