Project: A Place Called Home "Family Resource Depot" A Place Called Home (APCH) "Family Resource Depot" Overview: A Place Called Home has served South Central youth and families with its life-changing programs for nearly 30 years. During these uncertain times, one thing is for sure: APCH is still here, resolved to serve our community in the midst of this crisis and beyond. In the face of the coronavirus emergency, APCH quickly mobilized to respond to urgent and ongoing needs of youth and families that were already struggling with poverty. In the midst of temporarily suspending regular operations on our campus in 2020 The APCH Family Resource Depot (or FRD -- https://apch.org/#fp_frd) to deliver groceries, household necessities, hygiene products and more to local families in need. Since 2020, our FRD initiative has continued to provide hundreds of families with thousands of pounds of fresh produce and other essentials weekly. This is where our wonderful APCH volunteers come in! Project Description: Volunteers sort and pack fresh produce and canned food into bags, which we then load into trucks for delivery to APCH families. Volunteers also unload and unpack boxes of food and supply deliveries. The APCH team guides volunteers throughout the morning. This is an active day that may include light-heavy lifting, bending and extended periods of standing. Please let the APCH team know if there is anything we can do to make the project more comfortable for you.
