Visit our YouTube Channel to find out more about Friends of the Poor...https://youtu.be/CbnRpToZ4x4 The mission of Friends of the Poor is to ease the burden of living in poverty and enhance the quality of life for all who live in low to moderate income communities. The ministry brings together in friendship those who have a desire to give to those in need of assistance. Friend's of the Poor welcomes volunteers for regular volunteer service or one-time special events/projects. Assistance is needed from individuals, families and groups. On a daily basis, volunteers assist in organizing the food pantry, clothing, and household item distributions. Special projects include collections of items for children and senior citizens, assistance at the large food giveaways at Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter, transportation of food to pantry sites and many other projects and events. Internship opportunities are also available.
