Grace’s operation of the Satellite Food Bank has been up and running for a few months. Each Thursday, up to 15 households are provided healthy food through the Calgary Food Bank. Volunteers have found their work very gratifying.
There is a need for more volunteers: some to serve one or more Thursday mornings a month, from 8:30 to 9:30, to receive and sort the food, and some to distribute the food hampers to the clients at the church on Thursday afternoons between 3:30 and 5:30.
Volunteers need to be comfortable with lifting and understand the need for confidentiality for the clients. With COVID, masking and sanitizing are required and there is a temporary restriction that volunteers must be younger than 70 years of age.
Please let Cindy Stephenson, Coordinator of Volunteers, cindys@gracecalgary.org if you would like to learn more about this wonderful opportunity to serve the community.
