    Description

    ¿Hablas español? Use your Spanish skills at El Mercadito (at 3533 W. North Ave) by becoming our next bilingual intake volunteer! Since this is a directly client-facing volunteer role, it is also one of the most rewarding. The majority of our clients at El Mercadito are Spanish-speaking and we want to provide them with exceptional customer care in their native language.

    The client in-take volunteer registers the client for their monthly or weekly distribution visits. Intake is currently being conducted on an iPad, so it’s important that you’re comfortable working with that technology and bring your glasses if you need them! This opportunity takes place Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 11:30am - 3:30pm at 3533 W. North Ave.

    To sign up or learn more about this opportunity, email elmercadito@lakeviewpantry.org.
