Just a bit of your time…
The Lawrenceville Co-Op relies on volunteers who commit their time on a regular basis to sort and distribute food, counsel and pray with clients, provide office support, and maintain our building and grounds. Last year, around 650 volunteers worked over 17,500 hours for our ministry. Our many volunteers make it possible to have only three full-time and four part-time staff members, thereby allowing us to use most of our funding to assist clients.
Volunteers may work as much or as little as they prefer – many of our volunteers have been helping out regularly for many years!
To volunteer, you must be 16 years of age or older and be able to lift and carry items. Teens and children under 16 can volunteer with a parent or adult supervision. Comfy layers and closed toe shoes are recommended.
