Volunteer cooks needed
Anna Marie’s Alliance serves victims of domestic violence and offers shelter for women and children experiencing domestic violence. The shelter is in desperate need of volunteer cooks to spend a couple of hours preparing lunch or supper for residents. We have many openings on weekends, and are looking for someone to help out weekdays the week of July 8-14. We invite volunteers to share the meal with our residents. A brief training (30 minutes) is required. Time commitment is 2-3 hours per meal. We supply the groceries and menu, or you can choose the menu. Please call Kim S. at 320-251-7203 ext. 210 or email her at kims@annamaries.
