We are expecting up to 800 families over the three-day period to receive groceries to prepare a holiday meal and need your help! We will be sorting, packing, and distributing food at our drive-through mobile food market.
Volunteers need to arrive promptly at 8:30am and park in the lot to the East of our building. Please do not park in the lot across the street. Dress for the weather - it may be chilly. This is both an indoor and outdoor event where lifting and carrying food, boxes and bags that may weigh up to 15 pounds or more is required, as well as standing for long periods of time, and loading food into vehicle trunks/truck beds.
Your volunteerism is greatly appreciated. Arlington Charities and your neighbors in need thank you too!
