What a wonderful way to spend one of my holidays donating to my time for a worthy cause..... They are so organized and it's so important if anybody can come out please do… I'm adding it to my monthly agenda....

We had a very enjoyable afternoon helping out at the food bank. Our company volunteered for the day, so we had a team of 20 or so folks. It was really interesting to see not only the volume of food moving through the place, but how many man-hours of full time employees and volunteers it takes to make it all happen. After we bagged potatoes and some other vegetables for a few hours, we got a tour of the entire facility. Really an impressive operation! This is a great way to give back to the community. Sign your company up for a day!

Great place to volunteer at. They are well organized, friendly, and professional. They have lots to do, such as sorting food, bagging fruits or vegetables, weighing rice/beans/pasta, etc. Children 10+ years are welcome if joined by an adult. I highly recommend volunteering here. The shifts are less than 4 hours, breaks are included as well as a tour of the facility. Bring a light sweater because it is a bit chilly.

Great place to volunteer for any individual or an entire group. Today we bagged onions and potatoes, previous times it was oranges, corn, apples and other fruits and vegetables. One needs to apply to be able to contribute this way and when the work starts a lot of fun can be had meeting people, having conversations and sharing snacks during the break. Work periods last about three hours and people of all ages volunteer: classes of school children, members of a group at work, a group of friends etc. I highly recommend it!

I don't really know but you can get ahold of them and see if that possible. Or you can get ahold of St Vincent's de Paul and find out where there drop off site is. You are a good hearted person and thanks for your help 💛.
