VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!

We are looking for a volunteer to shop on Tuesday mornings to get the fresh food – will require driving to Needham  – Restaurant Depot and possibly the Indian market in Acton.  We will be supporting this effort for (2) months until all Afghan families are placed.  After the families will be connected to local food relief organizations and also to SNAP.  Open Table is also supporting many local families that have been settled here.

If you can help, please reach out to volunteer@opentable.org

Thank you!
