PLEASE NOTE: Participation in this project will not be finalized until the APCH Volunteer team responds to your form submission by contacting you directly to confirm project details. Thank you! Project: A Place Called Home "Family Resource Depot" Grocery Sorting & Packing Project A Place Called Home (APCH) "Family Resource Depot" Overview: A Place Called Home has served South Central youth and families with its life-changing programs for more than 30 years. In 2020, in the face of the COVID-19 emergency, APCH quickly mobilized to respond to the urgent and ongoing needs of youth and families in our community who were already struggling with poverty and food insecurity. APCH launched the Family Resource Depot, or "FRD", to provide groceries, hygiene products and other household necessities to our families in need on a weekly basis. In the years since, APCH has remained committed to continuing to provide fresh produce and other essentials for families within our community who are experiencing food and financial insecurity. APCH currently provides 100-200 bags of groceries per week for families in need through our FRD initiative. This is where our wonderful APCH volunteers come in! Project Description: Volunteers sort and pack fresh produce and dry/canned food to create grocery bags for families from the APCH community. The APCH team guides volunteers throughout the project. APCH distributes the completed grocery bags to APCH families the evening after the packing project. Please Note: This is an active project that may include light-heavy lifting, bending and extended periods of standing. Please let the APCH team know if there is anything we can do to make the project more comfortable for you.
