COMMUNITY RESOURCES FROM BARBARA BELKOFF
Community organizations are a great place to find helpful resources, places that can help us with sometimes difficult situations. Community organizations depend on volunteers to help provide those resources. ONE of the very real ways to become part of a community is to become a volunteer within that community. You interact, speak and assist those living in your own backyard. Volunteering is a great way to practice our skills and also can be a great way to look for future employment.
So on a weekly basis I will share volunteer opportunities in Collier County.
HARRY CHAPIN FOOD BANK
Help HCFB prepare donations to be distributed! This is a huge distribution center of food donations for families of SWFL Come and Pre-sort, inspect and pack food items and other nonfood packages. Volunteering for the Harry Chapin Food Bank is not complicated, but it can be strenuous. It requires bending, lifting, and standing for a three hour shift.
Interested? Or join with a friend or a small group. There’s plenty of work to do.
