For many, summer means travel. For local volunteer-driven projects, this means fewer consistent volunteers, and a moment of need for others to step in and help, whether for a one time fill-in or for several weeks while a regular volunteer is taking a break. Do you have a few hours each week to offer to make sure our neighbors have access to food? We need you!
Tuesday kitchen help at Uncle Food’s Diner
Peace House coordinates a weekly hot meal on Tuesdays, and we need more hands in the kitchen! Flexible shifts from 10am-3pm. We cook at First Methodist near Laurel and N. Main. Come work with our fabulous chef, David Jimenez, and the rest of our fun crew. Reach out to Meg (meg@peacehouse.net) or call the office at 541.482.9625 for more info.
Volunteer with Ashland Food Angels
Food Angels has been collecting and donating produce and other perishable food items to Uncle Food’s since 1996, as well as helping to provide an abundance of food items to the Ashland Food Bank and food banks in Talent and Phoenix.
The project operates daily, picking up food each morning and evening. Shifts are usually 2-3 hours. Although it helps to be able to lift 20 to 40 pounds, there are also jobs which require no lifting. Consistent weekly help is greatly appreciated, but even an hour or so once in a while would be helpful. It’s a wonderful and loving group that gives their time and energies to this project,To learn more, email Pamala Joy at ashlandfoodangels@gmail.com or call 458.246.7489.
