Distanced. Not Disconnected! Food Bank Assistant (Mercy Village Folsom - Folsom)

In response to the COVID-19 epidemic, Mercy Housing has shifted our resident service priorities to focus on the immediate needs of residents. Many of our residents are coping, as most Americans, with the stress of isolation, lost income and jobs, struggles to meet immediate food and household essential needs, school closures, and children needing to develop remote learning routines.

Food insecurity is one of the most pressing needs and YOU can help us meet those needs all while feeling connected to the community in a fulfilling way!

Our monthly food bank is well utilized, which often makes it difficult for staff to transport, move and distribute alone. Join us and roll up your sleeves to organize and help with food pick-up and delivery and/or distribution. Volunteers like you make it possible!

Distributions are every 3rd Wednesday to help those in need access healthy food.
Volunteers are needed between
3:00pm - 5:00pm for assistance with set up, packing and distribution.

We will practice safe social distance protocols, and we ask that all volunteers bring a mask and gloves.
