We are looking for assistance in repacking food, putting food on the shelves, handing out food boxes on distribution days and end-of- the-month inventory. Groups are welcome and other opportunities are available.” Call on non-distribution days to ensure someone is available to as- sist you. You also can sign up for a monthly e-mail for the Food Bank calendar and events, as well as follow the Food Bank on Facebook. Contact Ambrose at 503-879-3663 or at fambrose@marionpolk- foodshare.org for more information or to volunteer.
