Weekly Distribution EIGHTH GRADER PROGRAM
This shift happens Every Thursday 5pm to 7:30pm. *If Adult distribution shifts are full, adults may also sign up under this program opportunity.
Weekly Food Distribution is now at The Summit Community Center at 100 Morris Ave, Summit, NJ.
The highlight program of GRACE is Thursday Evening Distribution, when we distribute food and supplies and provide community programming and support services.
Eighth graders join GRACE for volunteer experience. If you are participating in the Eighth Grader Volunteer Program, don't forget to bring your volunteer sheet to sign off on your hours for credit. You must have your name on the volunteer sheet.
Parking is available on the side street and in the lot, and the building is wheelchair accessible. If driving to your volunteer shift, we ask volunteers and staff to please consider parking behind the Oaks Center at 20 Ashwood Ave, and use the marked crosswalks, to help support traffic flow during distribution hours. There is plentiful parking for anyone who needs a closer accessible space. Volunteers will be working both inside and outside, and should dress appropriately for any weather. Closed toe shoes and comfortable clothes for moving, lifting and working are recommended.
Youth are required to have an emergency contact with phone number on file with GRACE.
THANK YOU FOR HELPING THE GRACE COMMUNITY!
Many hands make light work and GRACE needs YOUR help to assist families in need in our community. There are many opportunities for you to help. Thursday mornings we unload the truck from the Community Food Bank, bag produce, and prepare for distribution. We need several volunteers to drive their vehicles to addresses in Summit to deliver groceries to people who can't make it to distribution. Distribution (handing out groceries to people in the community who come to GRACE) is on Thursdays. There are also opportunities to pick up bread and bagel donations, and collect donations during the week. Please review the available opportunities and sign up, or reach out to let us know how you'd like to share your talents. Consider working an opportunity along with your friends or family, sports team or social group. Thank you!
GRACE is now located at The Summit Community Center at 100 Morris Ave, Summit, NJ.
