Volunteer Drivers Needed to Deliver Food to Seniors
Share Food and Montco Hunger Solutions have discovered an alarming trend among the Montco senior population. Largely due to COVID and the fear of leaving their homes, there has been a drop in the number of seniors participating in the CSFP program, where they would normally pick up a monthly food box.
Would you be available to deliver food boxes once a month to local senior citizens in your community?
Contact Kathy Stocker, Volunteer Services & Community Outreach at RSVP kathys@rsvpmc.org or call 610-834-1040 x 129
