Mobile Food Pantry Volunteer Opportunity
United Way of Southeastern Connecticut’s Mobile Food Pantry distributes nutritious food directly to under resourced communities where access can be limited. Using a no-questions-asked model, the mobile pantry provides food with dignity and ease, to approximately100–300 households at each distribution.
