Last year, MAC gave away more than 5,000 bags of groceries to households in Downtown and Midtown Atlanta. We are looking for a volunteer who can fill client food orders on Monday mornings. Clients have been pre-screened for assistance. When they come in, they will fill out a shopping list. Our food pantry volunteers fill the order and bring the packed bags out to the client. This is a great way to work directly with those in need and feed those who are hungry!
We currently need volunteers Thursday and Friday Mornings from 9:30-12:30 a.m.
