Volunteer
Our programs depend on the work of our volunteers who cook, pack pantry bags, receive food shipments, sign in clients, coordinate food distribution, clean, tutor students, and help with all our other everyday tasks.
​
We welcome volunteers to help with our food pantry and soup kitchen each week. We can also use volunteers with technical and professional skills in education, computers, art, languages and translation, etc.
