Volunteer at MANNA this holiday season
MANNA is looking for volunteers to help pack and distribute holiday pies this month.
MANNA’s Pie in the Sky holiday-pie sales raise funds for the organization’s work to provide nutritional meals to those suffering illness. Pie sales continue through Nov. 17.
The organization is looking for volunteers to work in its warehouse and staff pickup sites and deliver pies in the days leading up to Thanksgiving. The kitchen is already fully staffed on Thanksgiving Day but MANNA is still in need of drivers to help work mid-morning on Thanksgiving delivering meals.
To volunteer in the week leading up to Thanksgiving, email [email protected] or call 215-496-2662 ext. 136. To sign up for a Thanksgiving driving shift, email [email protected] or call 215-496-2662 ext. 100.
Lax Scholarship deadline extended
The deadline to apply for an LGBT-focused scholarship has been extended through the end of the month.
