If so, please join us for a Volunteer Orientation Tuesday July 9th, 2019, from 12-1:30pm at the Everette Hodge Community Center, 15-21 Franklin St, in Kingston. You’ll learn about the many opportunities to help support and grow local initiatives to address food insecurity and improve the quality of food available to those in need in our community. Volunteer opportunities include: helping to grow, glean, process and distribute fresh produce donated by local farms; preparing summer and after-school meals for local youth programs; picking up food from local grocery stores; stocking/organizing shelves and preparing food packages at your local food pantry; cooking and delivering meals to homebound individuals; prepping and serving meals at your local community cafe; assisting with food drives and more.
