On Friday, September 4, Nourish Pierce County hosted its first Day of Action, welcoming former and new volunteers to assist with food bank distribution to help feed our neighbors in need. We hosted a total of 78 volunteers who provided more than 330 hours of service. Twenty-seven of those who helped out were new to the Nourish volunteer program.
“The Day of Action was a great success,” said Nourish Volunteer Coordinator, Carol May. “We are so appreciative of all of our volunteers, both past and present. We could not have the impact on our community without them.”
Nourish Pierce County relies on 1,000 volunteers annually in order to maintain operations at its 25 food bank distribution sites. While the Washington National Guard has been serving in the food banks since early April, Nourish is actively seeking volunteers interested in providing regular service.
