Volunteering
Each week we serve our weekly meal on Mondays at 5:00 p.m. and clean up is finished around 7:00 p.m.. If you are available earlier on Mondays from 2:00-4:00 p.m., we always need assistance with cooking, setting up all the tables, chairs, silverware, processing vegatables from the Lewisburg Community Garden, etc! Please contact Lynn at lcp008@bucknell.edu to sign up for volunteer opportunities.
Donating
The approximate cost of this hot meal program operated entirely by volunteers year round is just $200 a week which breaks down to approximately $2/person to feed. We need your assistance in order to continue this important resource in our community. We’d be happy to publicize the sponsors of each week’s meal to Community Harvest patrons and the local community, who very much appreciate the opportunity for a nutritious meal and fellowship with others. In addition, we would be happy to advertise our sponsors on our website.
