Brotherhood Day at the Regional Food Bank

Sunday, January 22, 2012 - 1pm to 3pm

Sunday January 22, 2012 is Brotherhood day at the Regional Food Bank.  I hope you and any members of your family will consider joining us in this very worthwhile volunteer event for just a couple hours (1pm-3pm) helping organize and sort food items.  There are jobs for everyone and all ages are welcome to help.

The work is usually in an area that gets a bit cold, so you do need to dress in layers.  You can leave before 3pm.
