We need to unload a semi's worth of food, set up tables open boxes and direct traffic. At the end of the evening we need to tear it all down and clean up. You do not need to speak English to help as much of it is "manual labor." This is a great way to see another side of America. Food Pantry volunteers are needed for many jobs throughout the month, but especially the days and hours leading up to, and through, distribution on the evening of the 3rd Thursday of the month. Training for persons who have not yet be trained will be Wed at 7:00pm and on March 17th also at 8:30pm. Training lasts a little over an hour and is required for all persons volunteering for all Thursday shifts (except clean up). You do not need to be trained to help at other set up or cleanup times. Some of the times you can volunteer include (you do not need to work the full time slot): Wed. Mar 17th 12:30-2:00 pm Truck Unloading, 18 persons each hour Wed.
