Help Homebound Neighbors in 20906 by Delivering Bags of Produce and Groceries.

We have an urgent need for drivers in August and September!

If you have 2-3 hours free on a Wednesday, in the late morning or early afternoon, you can make a big difference to our neighbors in need.

Seniors, families without child care or cars, and disabled individuals, cannot take advantage of most food distribution options. Imagine trying to take a bus to pick up free food if you had toddlers, or used a wheelchair, or had an invalid spouse at home you had to care for!

Oak Chapel Food Hub helps people in these situations. Each week, we fill 60 bags with produce, bread and staples, customized to the families' preferences where possible. Where we need your help is in getting this food to the people we have promised it to.

Volunteers must:

• Have a car capable of holding 10 bags of groceries.
• A good driving record.
• Be able to carry paper grocery bags thatare sometimes heavy.
• If you have someone you can team with, one person can drive and the other can carry the bags to the doors.

What volunteering entails:

• 8-10 bags will be ready for you to pick up between 11 and 1 onWednesdays. The bags will be pre-packed and a Hub volunteer will help you load the bags.
• The pickup location is Oak Chapel United Methodist Church, 14500 Layhill Road, near Layhill Road, Rt. 200, and Longmead Crossing Drive.
• You will deliver the bags to the individual addresses, ring the bell, and leave the bag at the door.
• Some addresses are at garden apartments up a few steps, some are inside apartment buildings with elevators and some are at private homes.
• All addresses are in 20906, within a few miles of Oak Chapel Hub.
• We do ask that bags be delivered quickly after being picked up so that food that needs to be kept cold can get back into the refrigerator.
• Delivery of your bags will take approximately two hours after picking up.
