Greenwood Soup Kitchen is in dire need of volunteers to feed the hungry daily. Volunteer numbers have dropped sharply during the novel coronavirus pandemic.
“We’re down to three or four people,” said Norm Fawcett, Greenwood Soup Kitchen chairman. “We’re struggling to prepare soup and meals. We’re looking for a dozen or more volunteers, just one morning per week. Volunteers do not have any contact with our guests. We’re doing take-home meals. Our dining room is closed.”
The urgent volunteer need comes after the soup kitchen reopened its doors Aug. 10, to distribute take-home meals outside the United Center for Community Care. The nonprofit closed briefly earlier this month after a volunteer tested positive for COVID-19.
Kitchen and dining facilities have since undergone industrial cleaning and sanitation by a licensed company, Fawcett said.
Meals are distributed outside the dining room’s main entrance. Masks and gloves are required of volunteers preparing meals at this time.
GET INVOLVED
Volunteerism is the backbone of MTCC. An average of 4,450 volunteer hours are donated every year to help the Community Center and the community it exists to serve. Volunteer opportunities are available for individuals, families, and church, corporate, and school groups.
Some fun ways to make a difference:
- Help out in the food pantry by stocking shelves and making up food and toiletry bags
- Run errands, such as picking up donations
- Perform handyman work like painting or minor carpentry
- Make our grounds beautiful by spreading mulch, planting, weeding, trimming, and other landscaping needs
- Assist with planning and running special events
- Sponsor a child for Christmas, or help organize and distribute gifts on-site at the “Christmas House”
- Answer phones, greet clients, and make MTCC a welcoming place for all visitors
- Clean vehicles
- Rock babies (background check required)
- Help unload and inventory Gifts in Kind products
- Organize a drive for food, winter coats, school supplies, books, or other items
