MAY 2017
Our next opportunity to help at the Hillside Community Food Bank will be on May 13th! It is a wonderful time of working with fellow DCC members/friends and meeting others in the area who are working beside us! At our last gathering our group of 8 members along with another group worked on putting “Kid Packs” together. These are boxes of food to help children have something to eat over the weekend. In less than 2 hours we had put 1402 boxes together! What an awesome team of workers! Thank you!!
Our assignment for May 13th is “Bulk Packaging” ; repacking, sealing, labeling and boxing bulk food products into family-sized servings. We are still in need of volunteers at this point in time!
The Community Food Bank is a well run and organized operation and I’m sure you will discover that helping others will bring you joy!
