FOOD BANK HELP NEEDED - TACOMA AREA - VOLUNTEERS OVER AGE OF 55 (Retired and Senior Volunteer Prg.

Do you have four hours a week to help your community? We have several food banks that desperately need your help and they are located in South East Tacoma, North End Tacoma and Lakewood. The food banks can barely keep up with the demand for food by those who have lost their jobs due to COVID-19. The mission is to provide nutritious food and support services to people in need with compassion, dignity and respect. The goal is to provide each client with enough nutritious food to make three meals a day for three consecutive days. MUST SHOW PROOF OF COVID VACCINATION

Note: The food banks are allowing only volunteers inside the food banks. Volunteers wear masks and gloves and practice social distancing. They will be helping by sorting and packing food into bags and containers, assist in unloading trucks as needed, etc. Boxes of food are distributed by the Food Bank Manager as the clients drive through the parking lot.
