Longfellow/Seward Healthy Seniors (LSHS) and Minnehaha Food Shelf (located in the Minnehaha United Methodist Church, 3701 E. 31st St) joined forces back in August of 2020 with concern for older adults in the community who were unable to pick up their food shelf items in person due to the COVID pandemic.
LSHS continues to provide this food shelf delivery service to older adults in the greater Longfellow neighborhoods, and we are looking for volunteers who can assist with this program on at least one Tuesday a month.
Volunteers will be asked to work alongside LSHS and Minnehaha Food Shelf staff to choose and pack needed items to be delivered. The number of clients varies, but there are no more than 2 delivery stops. This opportunity can be physically demanding, and there is some heavy lifting involved. However, we work as a team to lighten the load.
We are looking for volunteers who can commit to at least one Tuesday morning a month for 1.5 -2.0 hours.
