CRC Chattooga is looking for volunteers willing to give a little of their time each week to help deliver food to local families who are unable to visit the food pantry themselves.

The organization is currently seeking a two-person volunteer delivery team that can work together one day each week to deliver food boxes to families in need throughout the community.

According to CRC Chattooga, volunteers would typically deliver only two to four food boxes each week, but those deliveries can make a significant difference for families who cannot travel to the pantry to pick up food.

The opportunity could be a good fit for two friends, spouses, family members or others who would like to volunteer together while helping their neighbors.

CRC Chattooga provides food and other assistance to individuals and families throughout Chattooga County.

Anyone interested in joining the volunteer delivery team is encouraged to contact CRC Chattooga directly or send the organization a message through its Facebook page for additional information.
