❓Can we volunteer as a family on delivery days?
Of course!
We welcome children and teens to accompany their parents or guardians on delivery days throughout the year. What better way to show your kids how to give back to their community and instill a heart for service from a young age.
If you anticipate questions from your children about food insecurity, we point you to the book, Maddi's Fridge, by Lois Brandt.
Maddi’s Fridge follows two friends, Maddi and Sofia, who play together at the park. When Sofia visits Maddi's home, it becomes clear that the fridge is empty and the cupboards are bare. Maddi asks Sofia to promise not to tell anyone. Sofia tries to keep the promise but makes a brave choice to tell her mother. This choice brings both help and care as well as much needed warm meals to Maddi's family.
This book is a favorite of our Media Coordinator, Mallory's family and has helped start the important conversation of how we can help our neighbors.
Check it out!
