2. Loaves & Fishes
   648 Griffith Rd, Unit BLoaves & Fishes’ mission is to provide a week’s worth of nutritious groceries to people within our community facing economic hardships. They do that through mass distributions out of their warehouse to mobile and school pantries as well as their recent merger with Friendship Trays, which allows them now to deliver home meals to those neighbors who are in need of service.

   We will assist with sorting food donations: checking expiration dates and sorting the food into 30 different categories which will include:
   > Packing pre-packed 7-day boxes of non-perishables, and
   > Packing bins with non-perishables to replenish the pantry shelves

   There will be two shifts for this opportunity. They are 9:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. We will need several volunteers for both.

3. MedAssist
   4428 Taggart Creek Rd, #101The mission of MedAssist is to dispense opportunities through improved health. They seek to ensure that no eligible person in North Carolina has to choose between purchasing food or their needed medication; improving the patient’s health and lowering uncompensated health care costs for all stakeholders.

   We will help MedAssist to unpack, sort and repackage medications for distribution to our neighbors in need of health medications at an affordable price or for free.

   This opportunity is from 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m., and we need several volunteers.

   Please bring your mask as it is required when volunteering indoors.
