SERVE
How to Serve…VOLUNTEER as part of our Food Distribution Team
Contact Marissa@gosplecc.org for information on serving with our Covid Response Team as we distribute food to our neighbors on Saturdays.

How to Serve…Work as a delivery driver!
If individuals in our church are interested in serving the community through delivering food boxes, they can contact Marissa@gospelcc.org.

1. Volunteers need to feel comfortable with food delivery while still maintaining safe CDC and WHO safety guidelines.
2. Volunteers need to be able to connect with neighbors who they are delivering food to, and then follow-up with neighbors to check in on them and ask if there are other needs we can meet.
3. Volunteers need to be able to pray with the neighbors and communicate prayer requests to our outreach team.
