The weather is hot, but it's nice and cool in our air conditioned sort room. For a feel-good indoor activity, join us for a daytime volunteer session Monday-Friday to help families facing hunger put meals on the table this summer.
Here's what you can expect when you volunteer in our sort room this summer:
-Daytime volunteer sessions involve checking donated food for food safety standards and packing it into boxes before it's distributed to our partner charities across southwest Missouri.
-Volunteer sessions are three hours with a break in the middle. During your break, enjoy a snack and cold beverage on us.
-These projects include standing and bending.
-In just one three-hour session, each volunteer helps provide about 300 meals for folks facing hunger.
It's easy to sign up. Simply visit ozarksfoodharvest.org/volunteer to learn more and get started! Thank you for helping us end summer hunger!
