Volunteer duties range from directing traffic and filling out forms for families, to more labor-involved duties of sorting and distributing food. While it is outdoors and we take precautions like masks, please do not volunteer if you are at a high risk of infection or if you are not feeling well. Please email Honey Harris to volunteer.

For Sundays 11/8 and 11/15, this class will use "Session 7: Selective Access to the Melting Pot and the American Dream: 1830s - 1960s" as a resource for our conversation. The significant question to discuss is, "Who is given and who is denied access to resources intended to enhance the well-being of our citizens?" A Zoom connection is our means of conversing from 9:15-10:00 AM on Sundays and is facilitated by Dick Hooper and David Starling.
