More Details
We experience a gap in volunteers during the summer. volunteers help sort food and pantry items that come in through donations. These items are then organized and made available to families through SCO's pantry store. Shifts run Monday through Thursday from 8:30–12:00, 10:30–2:00, or 12:30–4:00, and Friday from 8:30–12:30. No experience or cost is required just a willingness to pitch in and stay on your feet for the shift. It's a great fit for individuals, or groups looking for a hands-on, low-prep way to serve the local community on a regular basis.
