Your help is needed in the fight against hunger in our community! Food Finders is seeking volunteers to sort food items, donated from local merchants. Morning and afternoon shifts available. This would be a great opportunity for groups or organizations, as well as individuals.
I'm not sure how this works but I am interested in the Peaceable Primate Sanctuary volunteer oppurtunity and am not sure how to contact them or whom ever I need to contact in order to possibly sign up to volunteer.
