Volunteers are needed to help us pack and deliver fruits and vegetables to approximately 425 seniors in need of healthy, fresh produce. Pie In The Sky's "Fresh Food for Seniors Program"delivers fresh produce to area seniors each week to have a direct impact in our community.
This is a perfect opportunity for individuals who have limited time availability, but desire to volunteer and enjoy working as part of a team!
Volunteers are needed for just 2 hours**(Volunteers can select the day of the week to serve and the # weeks per month that they'd like to volunteer. Volunteers can select 1 week per month, 2 weeks out of the month, or all 4 weeks per month, etc.) See current Volunteer needs listed below:
