Any comments about your selections you would like to share with the student philanthropists?
Hope for overcoming difficult life circumstances begins with a hot cup of coffee, a nutritious meal, a dry pair of socks…meeting people where they are and providing basic needs (food, shelter, clothing) with dignity and respect. Then we can learn more about what people experience and how we can better help them with long-term solutions.
Does your organization have volunteer opportunities available for students? *
Yes, Grades 6 – 12
List possible volunteer opportunities -or- a link to where they can be found on the web.
On site volunteers serve meals*, sort donations, organize and clean the pantry and other areas, and landscaping to name a few. Other volunteers opportunities happen off site making note cards or placemats for dinner guests, tie blankets or other types, collecting needed items like hygiene, socks, underwear, canned goods, and more…only limited by our imagination.
*Must be at least 15 years old to serve in the meal ministry.
