<DIV>This is a follow-up of the announcement I made in church about Harvest of
Hope needing volunteers.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Harvest of Hope (HoH) is our local non-profit Food Rescue program that
gathers food from local sources (grocery stores, food processors, farmers) that
would otherwise be wasted and distributes them to the roughly 20+ local food
pantries and community meals that are serving those who need food
assistance. HoH needs volunteers as drivers and helpers. We have a
monthly schedule of pick ups and deliveries (Monday-Friday) and currently about
a third to a fourth of the slots are routinely open. Volunteers can sign
up to fill slots regularly or fill empty slots as needed. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Here are the details ... The truck is about twice the size of a pick-up
truck, with a big refrigerated box. Helpers do the logging of weights and
help with the lifting/moving. A typical load is roughly 150-300 lbs. with
individual cases typically 10-50 labs. A typical run takes 2-3 hrs (some
outlying food pantries may take 4 hrs) and starts in the morning (8:30 – 10 a.m.
due to limited pick-up hours at the stores). They start near the Busy Bee
restaurant in Marietta, where the truck is parked. We have men and women
as volunteers, filling the driver and helper roles as they feel
appropriate. I can think of 5-6 people (men and women) from FUUSM who
routinely volunteer for HoH. It is very satisfying work, and we have fun
doing it.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If you have the time (2-4 hrs, once a month) and energy, HoH is a great way
to directly work on a social justice issue that is both local and
pressing. If you can help, either as a regularly scheduled volunteer or as
a fill-in, please let me know. </DIV>
