WHY SHOULD I VOLUNTEER?

                            

                            

                              People volunteer with us for a wide range of reasons. The primary purpose is to support disaster-stricken families through repacking/production of food/non-food relief items. It's also an opportunity to get involved in your local community, learn new skills, improve yourself, build your confidence and meet new people.
