Volunteers are needed to distribute meals and help manage the daily operation of the lunch program. Specifically, volunteers will inventory the pre-packaged meals, room setup and clean-up, monitor the serving temperature of meals to ensure food safety protocols, and track quantities distributed.

Additionally, volunteers may be asked to assist with the summer reading program including supporting activities conducted during or after the lunch program; or assist with checking in returned materials (i.e. books, DVD’s, CD’s), shelving books when needed, setting up promotional displays, mending books, cataloging items, and preparing reserve materials for pick-up.
