Our volunteers provide one of the most important roles we have at Lake Cares Food Pantry! We depend on volunteers for just about every step in our process, from welcoming our clients on distribution days to keeping the food items stocked in the pantry, to helping at our events. But what exactly does a volunteer do? How much time do they actually spend? Why should you become a volunteer? Get the answers to these questions and more with this short video from Assistant Director, Becky Carter, as she starts your journey in "Volunteering 101". Moving forward in the "Volunteering 101" series, you will get to meet acutal volunteers who give their time to make Lake Cares Food Pantry, all that we can be!
