It is an amazing company doing amazing things for the community. The work is clearly explained to you during training and there is always someone to help (via email or phone) if you need it. Scheduling is done from within the comfort of your own home and it keeps you extremely busy for the one week a month that you do volunteer work as a transportation scheduler. I really love this volunteer job and do not plan on leaving anytime soon.

Gaithersburg HELP is a local community organization managed solely by volunteers. This group not only provides food for families in the Gaithersburg and Montgomery Village area, but also provides infant supplies as well, which is something not always offered by food banks. In addition to the food and infant needs, this volunteer group tries to offer various other services to the community and is a great asset to these communities. Every person I've met while volunteering here has their own job and family, but they've taken time out of their own lives to help support this organization that does so much for our community.
