ORGANIZATION: Holy Apostles Soup Kitchen

  • A group opportunity. Invite your friends.

Join us as we distribute free groceries to approximately 800 families in need (per week)! Pantry guests line up at our digitialized kiosks operated by volunteers. Other volunteers do the packing, converting each guest's personalized order into plentiful bags of groceries that include produce, protein, and canned goods. Our "Supermarket" patrons leave for home better able to prepare and serve meals to their families.

Volunteers should be able to lift 5-10 pounds of food, stand for about 1.5 hours, and aspire to join us for some high energy teamwork.
