Good Samaritans of Garland are in a crisis situation. Their volunteer coordinator has been in the hospital now going on 2 weeks. They are in desperate need of volunteers. They need anywhere from 5 to 10 volunteers each day. They feed about 300 families a day putting items in food boxes and taking in food when it's being delivered there. They need help on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday from 8am-2pm

Working in the pantry and kitchen:
Pantry- helping bring food in and where it needs to go, stock shelves, prep dry goods boxes
Kitchen- prep the carts for families (meat, milk, eggs, dry good box, produce, bread, sweets)
