Description of Work: Volunteers will gather and sort shelf-stable food items for Pantry 279 and help clean areas of Stone Belt’s 10th Street premises. There will also be an option to create handmade Easter greeting cards, which will be delivered to residents of a local long-term care facility.
Participants are welcome to bring food donations to the Day of Service. A donation box will also be available near the front door of Stone Belt’s 10th Street premises during the week leading up to the project.
There is no cost to participate, and each volunteer will receive a free t-shirt (this year in black), courtesy of the Saint Meinrad Alumni Association. Due to production timelines, t-shirts may be distributed to volunteers following the service day. You do not need to be an alumnus of Saint Meinrad to participate. All are welcome.
Volunteers are asked to register by March 7 to ensure an accurate count of volunteers for the site. To register, click “Register Now” or call the Saint Meinrad Alumni Office at 800-682-0988.
