::Ways to volunteer::

Volunteers sort through donated product in our Salvage/Reclaim Program. Food items and household products that have been donated by local grocery stores and collected at food drives.  Volunteers are needed in our Repack Room to repack bulk dried products such as beans, rice, cereal, pasta, paper products, etc. into smaller quantities. Office Volunteers are occasionally needed to help with office and administrative support.  Duties include filing, data entry, light typing, photocopying and other duties.  Food Drives are a great way for businesses, civic groups, youth groups, families, friends, congregations, and neighborhoods to build morale and teamwork.
