VOLUNTEERS NEED!
Do you have an hour or two to give to your community? Volunteer positions list
The North End Food Pantry is recruiting volunteers to help with our weekend food distribution! This early morning opportunity is quick and rewarding. We need a few folks with pickup trucks to help us on Saturday and Sunday mornings this summer. No permanent commitment required—it’s okay to sign up for just one shift here and there! You meet us at Hannaford, load the truck with boxes of fresh produce, and then deliver it to the Heineberg Center and unload it. That’s it! It makes a huge difference and is a great way to give back.
