We are looking for people of all skill levels too – from help with sorting, preparing and handing out food, to technical and computer assistance, there is a place for you to use your talents. Some of the other jobs and areas we need help with are: kitchen help, warehouse assistance including in our cooler and freezer, drivers (both Class A and B), sorting clothing, office assistance, hospitality, gleaning, working at our farm stand, serving on a committee, helping with our numerous special events, IT work, educating our recipients on proper nutrition, help with marketing, and cleaning .
