Volunteer
Volunteers are key to the strength and effectiveness of the Friendship Trays program. There are many opportunities for one to volunteer, from preparing meal containers, to placing food in trays, to sorting meals by route to driving and delivering meals to recipients. People volunteer as often as once a week or as little as once a month. Interested? E-mail Volunteer Coordinator Lani Lawrence.
