FOOD: Neighborhood Healthcare Food Distribution

Help feed around 200 households or around 750 people throughout Escondido by volunteering at Neighborhood Healthcare's food distribution.

Volunteers are responsible for helping set up and breakdown the food distribution signage, flags, and tables. They help sort produce and dried goods, create pantry staple bags for distribution, and load the produce and dried goods into cars. Once the distribution is completed, volunteers help clean the tables and parking lot of scraps of food and trash.
