Because so much of Mid Coast Hunger Prevention Program's food comes from generous local donors, volunteer drivers play an extremely important role in making more food available to neighbors in need.
Currently, we are in need of drivers in the mornings from Mondays through Saturdays (different days and locations have different pick up times, we'll work with you on details once you've applied).
For more information or to submit a volunteer application, go to mchpp.volunteerhub.com or contact our Volunteer Manager at volunteer@mchpp.org or (207)725-2716 x307.
