45 is a big number, but that's exactly how much operations need to expand - and the sooner it can happen, the better. They've already been harder at work than ever before because of the pandemic, and now the holidays are right around the corner, which is their busiest time of year. And it doesn't take up too much of your time either: they say that most volunteers for the food bank offer up about two to four hours a week.
