Would you like to help increase access to nutritious foods in your own communities? If so, please join us for one of two Volunteer Orientations: Wednesday, January 25th, 2017, from 2-3:30pm (snow date Wednesday February 1st 10-11:30am) or Wednesday February 22nd, 10-11:30am at the Greene County Emergency Building, 25 Volunteer Drive, Cairo, NY. Family of Woodstock, Inc. is proud to partner with Community Action of Greene County to recruit, train and manage volunteers to build the capacity of food pantries and related hunger relief initiatives throughout Greene County. The Orientation will include presentations by local food pantries, soup kitchens, and Farm to Food Pantry initiatives throughout the county. You’ll learn about the many opportunities to help support and grow local initiatives to address food insecurity and improve the quality of food available to those in need in our community. Volunteer opportunities include: helping to grow, glean and distribute fresh produce donated by local farms; help preparing lunchtime meals at a soup kitchen; food pickups from local grocery stores; stocking/organizing shelves and preparing food packages at your local food pantry; assisting with food drives and more. Information will also be available on volunteer opportunities with the Columbia Greene Domestic Violence Program, which offers both residential and non residential services in both counties.
