☀️📦 Summer Volunteers Needed for Emergency Meal Box Delivery!

As temperatures rise many homebound seniors in our community face additional challenges accessing food and essential supplies. Our Summer Emergency Meal Boxes provide non-perishable meals and emergency support items to help older adults stay safe, prepared, and nourished during potential emergencies.

We are currently looking for volunteers to help deliver these boxes throughout June. Even giving a few hours of your time can make a meaningful difference for a senior who may otherwise go without support!

Delivery Dates:
📅 June 1 – June 12
🕘 Monday–Friday during business hours

If you are able to help, please email [email protected] or call (757) 222-4522 with your availability, and we will match you with a delivery route.

Thank you for helping us care for and support older adults in our community, especially those who need it most during this season!
