Volunteers will help put turkeys and hams in carts and then bring them outside for families to pick up. Volunteers are also needed to help direct traffic in the parking lot. After 10am each day, volunteers will help pull groceries for clients. We respect social distancing and require a mask to be worn at all times. We provide masks and gloves for volunteers.
Clients are not coming in the building right now. We’ve streamlined the variety of canned food items available; clients tell us which items they’d like, and we shop for them. The clients check in at the windows, and then wait in their car for food to be brought out.
