We are short on volunteers!!!
If you'd like to help the children of our community, this is the job for you. We are looking for volunteer lunch bag packers and delivery drivers. Volunteers will be needed in the late mornings / early afternoons any day they are available Monday through Friday. WITHOUT MORE VOLUNTEERS, WE WILL NOT HAVE ENOUGH FOR THE PROGRAM. If interested fill out our volunteer application at the link below.
Thank You Nourishing Neighbors!
We would like to give a huge shout-out to The Safeway Foundation's Nourishing Neighbors program for gifting our Summer Lunch Program a grant that will allow us to serve the children of Nevada County healthy lunches all summer.
With Safeway's help, we aim to help kids all across our community. Thank you so much Safeway! #NourishingNeighbors
