Needs volunteers from 10am - 3pm, Monday—Friday

The service would entail providing referral and direct assistance to those in need in the North Oakland county area (GREAT resume experience for any Social Service students!!!)...your volunteer time could also include answering phones and helping unpack deliveries on Tuesdays (Currently being done by a few SJF parishioners btwn 64-72 years old!
