A team of eight Bethany members and friends worked at the SSIP Food Closet on April 11. The volunteer morning—planned as a Holy Week event—introduced participants to various jobs at the Food Closet, which is located at the church. Tasks included sorting and packaging canned/packaged foods, packaging perishables (including produce and USDA commodity foods) and helping carry items to recipients’ cars. Several hundred people were served. Click here to see photos.
If you would like to know more about this experience, ask any of the volunteers: Wendy Aiello, Cindy Alei, Peter Baird, Kathy Frank, Rowena Frick, Barbara Greene, Rev. Jesse Larson and Cathy Sapunor. While future work groups will be scheduled by Bethany, individuals are always welcome to sign up and serve on their own.
