  Volunteers are needed to help fill the boxes. It is easy and fun work and doesn't require heavy lifting. Volunteers must be 12 or over, and wear durable shoes and work clothes. Feel free to invite co-workers, friends, and family. We are asked to have at least 18 volunteers, so help spread the word!
  
  Parking Note: When you arrive at the location, look for the sign on the corner directing you to the Volunteer Entrance, park in that parking area, and enter at the BLUE door marked D.
