UPCOMING OFFSITE VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

Memorial Day weekend is almost a memory but the good work accomplished at BratFest 2016 is not!

39 volunteers served on behalf of Second Harvest for 122.75 hours earning $982 or 2,946 meals for hungry members of our community.

Please pencil us in for next year. Wouldn’t it be remarkable if we could triple our numbers at this community event?!
