The Food Commons Foundation volunteers were unfazed by the intense heat and the constant chirping of cicadas!  The volunteers battled the intense heat while toting bulky lunchboxes and bread, and their clothes were drenched from perspiration.  As planned, they transported the meals to those in need while navigating the sweltering streets.  We are truly appreciative of the volunteers' efforts!

We need volunteers to help deliver food to those in need in all areas. Are you willing to spend a little time to help others? We sincerely invite you to register as a volunteer. Only when everyone contributes their own strength can our actions continue.
