On the third Saturday of every month, we host our Satur-Day of Caring, where volunteers pack groceries and deliver them to people who are unable to leave their homes. There are two aspects of this opportunity; you can do either packing or deliveries, or both.
Packing Groceries: WE DO NOT HAVE A LIMIT FOR PACKERS. IF YOU ARE PACKING PARK AT LEE EYE CARE. IT IS NEXT DOOR TO US – 8135 MARKET STREET. IT IS VITAL YOU PARK HERE. OUR PARKING LOT WILL BE USED FOR DRIVERS. THERE IS A SIDEWALK FROM LEE EYE CARE TO OUR PARKING LOT. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO CROSS THE ROAD. IT IS ON THE SAME SIDE AS OUR BUILDING. There is a #1 Cochran Helping Hands on the side of the building. But you can’t miss us. We ask that volunteers who pack groceries arrive at the Volunteer Resource Center located at 8133 Market Street Youngstown OH 44512 at 8:00 am. We will begin unloading the grocery trucks. Staff from United Way will explain the packaging process. This part usually lasts 1 hour, depending on the number of volunteers. If you are packaging and driving, a staff person will tell you when to pull your car up.
When you complete your route, you are free to go home.
