Interfaith Council shelter pantry

My job: Unloading the food truck which comes from Durham.

We usually get 7-8 pallets of canned food (corn, beans, potatoes, soup, etc.) and a lot of frozen chickens!

What I’ve learned from this job:

The IFC serves 3,300 local households and provides approximately 1600 bags of groceries per month to families in need.

The organization is staffed by an incredible team of people dedicated to serving the needs of our town’s most disadvantaged citizens.
