Are Volunteers Needed?
Yes!
Community volunteers are always needed and welcome. Fluency in Spanish is NOT required to contribute your time to the food pantry or the thrift store, whose profits help pay for the food we distribute. Church membership is also NOT required. All that is needed is a caring, welcoming spirit and the willingness to work with others for the good of our neighbors in need. We have a lot of fun while doing good and would love to have you join us!
