Opportunities

Occasional Volunteer Opportunities

Interested in helping out, but not able to commit to a regular schedule of volunteering? Join our "On Call" list. We will contact you when special projects or events come up, or when we are short on regular Store Volunteers. When your schedule permits, we'd love to have your help. For more information about our many volunteer opportunities contact Volunteer Coordinator Elizabeth Ferguson at 609-396-9355, ext. 24, or by email.

Corporate Volunteer

Is your business looking for in-service/work days or group team building opportunities? Come in and help us with our food store stocking during the first week of the month. If you work for a business that promotes service work days or team-building, please contact Marcia.

Income Tax Preparation

We are currently in the midst of providing free tax preparation for clients through April. The Earned Income Tax Credit and Child Tax Credit could make as much as a $3,000 difference to a household! If this interests you, keep it in mind for next year's tax season, which, as we all know, always seems to come around before we know it. Training is required, and will be offered in the months before the early-2009 tax timeframe.

Home Food Delivery

Once a month we deliver food to many home bound residents in the Princeton and Trenton area. We need your help packing and delivering food. This is an excellent family or youth activity.

Help with our Newsletter and other mailings

We need help us process our occasional mailings. We enlist groups and individuals to prepare newsletter and other mailings with labeling and sorting.
