How can I help?
We are all feeling the impact of this COVID-19 situation, emotionally, financially and physically.
This is hard. And it’s scary. People want to DO something about it.
One thing you can do is donate now so that we have the resources to meet the critical needs, food and housing, of people impacted by the Coronavirus outbreak in our region.
Thank you!

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED TO COLLECT PRODUCE ON
FARMER’s MARKET DAYS
Community Action is partnering with Wenatchee Valley Farmers Market and we are looking for a few volunteers to help with weighing and produce pickup on Wednesdays at 6:30-7:30 pm (1-2 volunteers) and Saturdays at 12:30-1:30 pm (2-3 volunteers) when the market closes. The volunteers would meet with the farmers at their stands to collect food, weigh it, prepare and provide a donation receipt for vendors and then place it on the shelf in the cooler.
The produce that is donated would go to our Food Distribution Warehouse to be distributed to our 10 area food pantries. This is such a great opportunity for us to receive fresh fruits and vegetables for our food pantries. We will need volunteers starting in June through October. Please call Karen Bruggman at 860-4334 or karenb@cdcac.org

The program is really easy! Just sign up and receive a green shopping bag. Each time you go shopping, buy one extra non-perishable food item. Store it in your bag and on the second Saturday of every other month, a volunteer will pick up the bag, leave another in its place and take the filled bag to the North Central Washington Food Distribution Center.
Host a Food Drive at your place of business, event, or organization. Contact us at (509) 662-6156 to discuss details.
