ABOUT THIS REMOTE PROJECT:
Volunteers are needed to create and provide hygiene care kits as Remote Volunteers. The hygiene care kits you make and donate will be distributed to our food distribution and shelter clients. We currently serve about 1,000 households each week between our four food pantries. Thank you for helping to provide essential items to our program participants!
