Hundreds of volunteers have joined us since this project began as a response to Covid-19 in March, 2020. This will be the last opportunity to help with this project. Senior Connections is providing shelf stable meal kits for participants in their Friendship Cafes. With the Friendship Café program closed, (because of Covid-19) many senior participants are at risk of food insecurity. The project will take place at Building #2 at FeedMore.
To follow social distancing requirements, volunteers MUST sign-up to participate. Please only sign up to volunteer if you meet the following conditions:
1. You have not recently traveled abroad or to any highly impacted part of the United States.
