Description:
Come join us (and get a workout!) as we sort and package food to be distributed to the homeless, homebound, seniors, and others. Without the efforts of Flex Volunteers, this food would never find its way into the hands of those in need.
Their mission: To provide food to people in need, advocate for the hungry and educate the public about hunger related issues.
