    Description

    At West Houston Assistance Ministries, we host two Drive Thru Food Fairs on the 2nd and 4th Saturday of each month from 7:00am - 12:00pm. We need 25 volunteers to assist with any of the following: add fresh produce and dry goods to boxes for our clients without cars, mark car windows, open trunks, direct traffic, load fresh produce and dry goods into trunks of cars, and light clean up. We accept 12–13-year-olds with a parent or guardian, and 14 and older can volunteer on their own. Volunteers need to be able to stand and walk for up to five hours. WHAM serves 250 + families.
