    Description

    Help feed seniors in need!

    We Are Family coordinates monthly grocery deliveries to over 1,000 seniors in the Shaw and Columbia Heights/Park View neighborhoods. We need your help to make this happen! Each volunteer is assigned a food pick-up time to pick up pre-assembled bags of food. Volunteers then go out to deliver the food to seniors' homes. These seniors are facing poverty and social isolation that puts them at risk for hunger as well as other dangers. These deliveries are scheduled at the time in the month where their financial assistance is running low and they are likely facing tough choices like whether to keep their power on, pay for medicine, or feed themselves. With the current economic problems many seniors are getting less support and are facing higher costs, furthering their desperation. You can help make an immense difference in their lives!

    1 shift available:

    • Volunteers get assigned a food pick-up time between 10 am and 12 pm: 10:00 to 13:00 EST

    Location
