Help provide a good meal to those in need! Porchlight is looking for volunteers to staff our quaint pantry mostly used by tenants of the building. Our building provides affordable housing to approx. 100 previously homeless tenants to whom we offer access to our pantry 3 nights per week. Porchlight strives to help tenants maintain their housing by providing life necessities - food, clothing, hygiene, etc.
