We're excited to pilot a new volunteer opportunity!
As our food delivery program continues to grow, we're looking for a volunteer to help us prepare weekly food deliveries for refugee families.
Every Thursday morning in Highland Park from 9am-10am, you'll help prepare food orders for refugee families at our partner food pantry by organizing groceries into bags and loading them into the vehicles of our food delivery volunteers before they head out for deliveries. This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys staying active, working behind the scenes, and making a direct impact on families in our community.
