Summer Volunteers - School will be out soon. If you are a parent looking for a purposeful activity for your child this summer, how about allowing them to volunteer at the pantry? Some lifting might be required. Our young volunteers are able to see first hand and learn what hunger is all about. They not only helped us but they also serve the community. Volunteers must be 15 years of age or older. A parental consent form is necessary if under 18. Please contact us during our hours of operation.
