Hunger & Health Needs Volunteers
Delivery Handoff
Hunger and Health is in need of more volunteers. Each year Hunger and Health is normally able to receive the support of 12 college interns from App State. With so many things up the air, they are looking to fill these rolls with local residents and resident students. They have adjusted their methods for serving clients -- all services are provided in a drive thru format and no clients enter the building. All those interested in volunteering must have a negative COVID Test within a week of starting their volunteer work. 
  • They are currently looking for Pharmacy Volunteers able to serve some or all of a shift from 10am-3pm Tuesdays and/or Thursdays. 
  • They need lots of help in the Food Recovery Kitchen which can be done at any time during the week. 
  • They are also in need of Food Runners at many various times throughout the week who can bring food and other items out to the cars of clients in their touchless drive thru system. 

For more information, please contact Terri Niederhammer, Volunteer Coordinator, volunteeringhhc@gmail.com or 828-262-1628.
