Week 1:

·        Tuesday, August 11

We will need 3-4 volunteers on each of the above days: (1) one to greet clients, (2) one or two to enter clients’ information into the computer, and (3) one to load the grocery carts with the bags of food.

On Tuesdays, August 11 and 18, we will pack grocery bags with food at the food pantry from 9:00-11:00am. We will need 5-6 volunteers each day to help with packing.

FPC also provides butter, cheese, and bread to the clients. One volunteer is needed to pick up the butter and cheese on Monday or Tuesday morning (August 10 or 11) and deliver them to the food pantry. Another volunteer is needed to pick up the bread at Publix on Saturday mornings, August 8 and August 15, and deliver the bread to the food pantry.

If you are interested in volunteering in any of these areas for the food pantry during this rotation, please contact Tina de Waart at tinadewaart@bellsouth.net or 770-601-6118.
