Do you have a couple of hours a month to help the Lacey Food Bank find, complete and submit grant applications for corporate and charitable funding? As an on-line, on-going project, this is a work from home opportunity, perfect for the detail oriented. Are you a responsible college student looking to fulfill community service obligations? Or perhaps you’re someone who finds our regular volunteer schedule to be in conflict with your personal availability. Recently retired? Don’t let those business skills go to waste! Familiarity with grant writing is a plus! Please call 609-242-2848 and leave a message for Co-chair Pete or email captpete100@gmail.com for more information. Thanks!!

Not everyone wants to get involved in the same way.
Below are a few suggestions on how you might participate.
HELP WANTED
We’re looking for a few folks, who would like to work on a weekday from 10:00 am till noon, manning the Food Bank. We currently have some dedicated folks already in that position that can use some help.
The job is fairly easy – sorting foods, checking for expired dates, packing and storing foods, answering the phone & food distributions.
The only pay we offer is free training, fellowship, enhancing your passion for helping 550 + clients, (almost half of them children), and a good feeling of a job well done.
Let me know if you’re able and interested, or know of anyone that is. Again, thanks for all you do,
Pete, Head of Volunteers
Call me at the Food Bank – 609-242-2848 & leave your name and phone and I’ll get right back to you or you can email captpete100@gmail.com
PART TIME PHOTOGRAPHER NEEDED
When & where? Over the course of a year, we need someone to take pictures of our activities – think Xmas Parade, Apple Festival, Lacey Day, along with Thanksgiving and Xmas distribution which usually fall on the 3rd Friday of the month. Teen Corp activities, groups presenting food, special events for the food bank kids – book, back to school, Haloween costume and holiday present days. Let your fingers do the walking through the newsletters from the past and you’ll get the idea. Give Pete a call at 242-2848 and offer your services.
PLEASE NOTE: WE WELCOME ANY AND ALL PROJECTS SUGGESTED BY GROUPS AND INDIVIDUALS BUT ASK THAT YOU NOTIFY US BEFORE YOU START AND LET US KNOW ABOUT YOUR PROJECT TO SEE IF IT FITS WITHIN OUR GUIDELINES. CALL THE FOODBANK AT 609-242-2848 AND ASK TO SPEAK TO CO-CHAIRMAN PETE OR CO-CHAIRMAN ED TO SCHEDULE THE EVENT.
