Volunteers needed to help set-up and distribute food
Philabundance's Fresh For All program in Paulsboro is similar to a traveling farmers' market set up at the same location every week at the same time so local residents in need can rely on the availability.
Theresa, a Paulsboro resident, first attended Fresh For All in Paulsboro last year and she attends each week because the free food takes a tough decision -- paying for food or paying bills -- off her plate.
Philabundance seeks 10-15 volunteers on Thursdays from 2 to 4 p.m. at 402 Cook Avenue in Paulsboro, to play an integral role in the set-up and distribution of 2,700 pounds of food per week, and, at the same time, feel a sense of accomplishment from giving back to their community.
Without volunteers, Philabundance is unable to serve more than 100 individuals -- including families with children -- who attend this free, fresh food distribution each week.
