Bag Lunch Program

This program provides an opportunity for volunteers to do service on their own time. We need volunteers to make bag lunches throughout the week to give out to the homeless and day laborers that come through our facility. This is also a great opportunity for student volunteers to assemble sandwiches for our bag lunches as a class project. Please reach out to Volunteer Director Theresa Diersen at [email protected] to schedule a convenient time for this volunteer opportunity.
