Volunteering

  • Soup kitchen volunteer. My local soup kitchen recently relocated to a new facility in order to better serve the community. It became apparent there was a need for more volunteers. During my days off I help prepare and serve meals to those in need. I look forward to continuing my work with the soup kitchen in the coming months.
