Opportunity Title: Food Delivery Intake
Opportunity Description: We are looking for volunteers to assist us with an upcoming food delivery we have scheduled for our pantry at our DC office. Through a partnership with the Capital Area Food Bank, we regularly receive and distribute food staples to our clients facing food insecurity. Last year, we were able to provide the families we assist with over 15,000 pounds of food and hope to surpass that quantity this year with your help!
