Bulldog Spotlight of the Week
Feast of Justice
Feast of Justice is a local food bank that runs a food distribution program serving the Northeast Philadelphia region and is a long time partner of NFCS. They are currently in need of volunteers to help our community members access food. Most of the duties performed by volunteers are inside the building with almost no exposure to the public, except for distribution shifts. Volunteers must be at least 14 years old and PPE is provided. While there are many shifts available, we encourage students to sign up for a Wednesday evening or Saturday shift, when Feast of Justice is in most need of volunteers and there is no interference with instruction. Family members are encouraged to volunteer at any time that is convenient to them!
