Sort Food Donations for Hungry Neighbors

Save to Favorites

WHAT WE WILL DO:

Join Project Helping volunteers to help approximately 50 hungry families take home one week’s worth of groceries (80+ pounds) from the Fresh-Foods Market at Metro Caring. We'll be working in the warehouse where food and other items are processed from donation deliveries. We will help inspect, clean, sort and box the food items so they can be transferred to the market for families to take home. Through the act of volunteering with Project Helping, you are actively investing in your community while also improving your mental wellness!
