We are currently delivering food to our clients instead of having onsite distribution in order to remaind COVID-safe. We've experienced a huge influx in need for food during COVID and so need more support from volunteers than we have in the past as well.

Volunteers help pack bags of groceries to be delivered to up to 500 clients each day.
Shifts are available Wednesday - Saturday 9am- 1pm. The biggest need at this time is for Thursday and Friday Volunteers. We welcome daily or weekly volunteers as well as those who can only help once in a while.

This is physical work in a modified warehouse setting. Volunteers should be able to lift up to 25 lbs, bend, reach, grasp, and move around safely in a busy space.

All volunteers must provide proof of COVID vaccination and wear a KN95 or N95 mask whil indoors.
