WHY VOLUNTEER?
Volunteers are the heart and soul of the Lakeshore Food Club, bringing our mission to life through their work. We could not serve the community without their help... or yours. If you would like to be part of this service, we require a brief volunteer orientation to provide you with food safety handling instructions and other training information to help you in your role.
