The Darien YMCA has been asked by Person-to-Person
of Darien, another local non-profit, to help find volunteers to
prepare pre-packaged grocery bags for families in need during the
COVID-19 crisis. Pre-bagging essential non-perishables will
allow volunteers and clients to practice social distancing during
pickups.
Person-to-Person has been working diligently to
ensure that their clients are able to access the fresh food they
need to feed their families during these uncertain days. As they
have adapted their food distribution model to keep up with the
increased demand in a safe and efficient manner, their volunteer
needs have shifted. That is why P2P is reaching out to the Y and
its members to see if anyone is able to help out!
Sign up to volunteer in person:
We've set up 2 hour shifts on 2 packing days:
Thursday March 26, 2PM to
6PM
Saturday March 28, 10AM to
4PM
We will limit each shift to 6 volunteers to allow
for ample social distancing. Gloves and Hand Sanitizer will
be provided to all volunteers. Those able to help out, please
sign up below.
