DECEMBER: Immediate Volunteer Needs

Regional Market in Hartford
Foodshare's facility at the regional market receives as much as 6.5 million pounds of fresh produce annually, and volunteers are needed to help inspect and repackage these vegetables for distribution.  We are in need of several volunteers to work regularly on Tuesday’s.  Shifts are 8:30am – 12:00pm and 1:00pm – 3:00pm.  Please contact Edna for more information. 

Mobile Foodshare
Mobile Foodshare is an outdoor food distribution for persons of low income. The food choices vary from week to week but usually include bread and several types of fresh produce.  One volunteer rides with a Foodshare driver and assists in distribution.  We currently have an ongoing opportunity to work every other Tuesday 8:00am – 2:30pm, as well as an "on call" volunteer to help fill in for our regular volunteers. Please contact Edna or Keith for more information and availability.

Ambassadors
Ambassador volunteers serve an essential function, educating the public about hunger—its causes and its solution. Tasks include answering questions at information tables at public events, giving speeches about hunger to community organizations, schools, and congregations who request them, and facilitating role-playing exercises where people learn about hunger first-hand. We teach you everything you need to know.  Contact Amanda for more information.
