A Big Friendly Giant is needed to fill a big pair of shoes for a volunteer who is leaving to move out of state. This volunteer was working with five neighbors who needed help with daily tasks including shopping, reading, mail sorting, social activities and more. If you have big feet - or even small feet - I need them to fill these shoes... It will make you feel good all over! Oh, you don't need to work with five neighbors to fill these shoes just work with one. Your heart will grow and you will forget your feet!
