Nourish-up is the agency that provides food for the majority of the food pantries that serve the west corridor. They have entrusted us to man their new warehouse on Saturday, September 13th in 2 shifts (8:45am-11am; 10:45am-1pm) to sort donations, prepare food boxes and fill orders for the pantries that they serve. We are in need of 20 volunteers for each shift. Please click here to go to the HOPE Charlotte Volunteer Hub to register. Please note: You must create a HOPE account to participate in these service projects. After signing up on the Volunteer Hub for the Nourish-up service project your registration is complete. You will be asked to sign the Nourish-up volunteer waiver when you arrive. This is an excellent opportunity for you to invite a friend to serve along with you. This project is for volunteers 14 and older. You must wear close-toed shoes.
