Guests to our food bank begin lining up bright and early, and we need someone who enjoys people and can work in an ethnically diverse environment to provide a friendly, engaging presence to those who are waiting in line. Hand out numbered tickets, answer questions, and as the winter months approach, provide hot coffee.
