Agency: HandsOn Twin Cities

Description:

Volunteers must be 18 years of age or older to volunteer for this project. 

Centro, a multiservice agency partnering primarily with Latino and Chicano families in Minneapolis, offers a broad range of holistic services, among them a food shelf, which receives one or two substantial deliveries each Tuesday. Volunteers are needed to help unload, sort, organize, and repackage food for easy redistribution. The food only needs to be carried a short distance, and the food shelf area itself is not large, so a team of 3 volunteers can handily manage the project within a couple hours. Training is provided, and representatives from both Centro and HandsOn Twin Cities will be onsite to assist throughout the project. Come once to check it out, and come back weekly if you like it!
