Did you know? Clients who volunteer at the Lawton Food Bank can take home fresh produce at the end of the day! 🥦
Because of food safety guidelines, once produce comes out of our refrigerators, it does not get put back. Rather than let good food go to waste, we make it available to the amazing clients who volunteer their time with us!
If your family could use extra support, volunteering is a great way to give back while also receiving fresh, healthy food!
🗓️ Volunteer needs this week:
• Monday: 12 PM – 3 PM
• Wednesday: 9 AM – 3 PM
• Friday: 9 AM – 3 PM
Come serve alongside us and take home nourishing food for your family!
