    Description

    Help us save on delivery fees so that we can focus on giving women the tools they need to retransition back into society. We shop for between 20-30 women each week, but getting those groceries delivered is costly. You don't need any skills, just the willingness to make a drive and help us provide meals. The groceries will be dropped off at 1 East Luray Ave or our Payne Street location. Please email info@friendsofguesthouse.org if you have any interest or questions! Time and date are flexible.

    Groceries are ordered by Friends of Guest House, you would just need to pick them up! We grocery shop each week, so having a few people on a monthly schedule would lift a lot of burdens off our staff and budgets. We pay for the groceries, but financial help is always appreciated. Thank you!
