Arizona Kosher Pantry
We have several opportunities to make a difference in our community during these challenging times. In our pantry we could use some helping hands to prepare bags of food for distribution, helping to stock shelves, checking expiration dates of products as well as freshness. We could also use someone to make deliveries of food to those in need. We have a homeless program every Wednesday. Assisting with preparing bags of food and/or distribution would be greatly appreciated.
No additional volunteer opportunities at this time.
