We need help giving out food this summer! A truck will arrive with a few pallets of fresh produce, all for the community. Volunteers will be stationed at each pallet, helping those in need choose the best fruits and vegetables for their family. We typically see upwards of 150 families all in the span of about an hour.
After a quick orientation, we will all work together to prepare all the pallets for distribution. As participants walk through each station, volunteers are there to help find the best produce, carry bags, or just say hello. Once the event is over, clean up is a breeze!
*Want to volunteer as a group? Giving back with others you know is a great way to get to know each other!
Please be sure to wear comfortable clothing and closed-toed shoes, as the event will be outside.We will have water and snacks for volunteers, but please feel free to bring your own as well.
Staff will work with all volunteers to ensure each person finds the best position for them.
