WE NEED YOUR HELP There is an immediate impact to providing basic resources for someone in need. Food not only feeds bellies but feeds hope and a feeling of security. Knowing there is somewhere to turn to if you are unsafe in your home brings empowerment and options. Family Pathways is here to help those who need food. Volunteers are helping at the food shelves with a variety of tasks and packing boxes of food for the clients who drive up for pickups. Food Shelves are considered an essential service. Proper protocols are in place to protect our clients, volunteers, and staff. If you are interested in volunteering please reach out to volunteer manager Brooke Zank at brookez@familypathways.org you can also go to www.familypathways.org/volunteer to complete the application form.
