Small Things Matter's Kokua Foods Program helps address food insecurity in our community.
We are looking for vaccinated individuals to help us pack and distribute food to the families that we serve in Takoma Park and Silver Spring. The pandemic brought about by COVID-19 have made these families even more vulnerable than before and they need some additional food support. These staples and fresh produce help them with their food insecurity.
Teens and Adults needed to help pack produce EVERY Friday from 7:30am-9:30am at the TPSS Coop, 201 Ethan Allen Ave, Takoma Park MD 20912. SSL hours and Community service hours awarded.
Teens and Adults needed to help pack produce on the 1st and 3rd Fridays of each month from 9am-11:30am at the TP Seventh Day Adventist Church Center (6810 Eastern Ave NW, Washington, DC 20012). SSL hours and Community service hours awarded.
