The Vassar Club of DC presents an exciting opportunity to give back to the community in collaboration with the Capital Area Food Bank (CAFB).

CAFB works with a network of 500 partner agencies to annually distribute over 40 million pounds of food – equivalent to 35 million meals – and serves over 500,000 people in the region struggling with hunger. For each dollar raised, CAFB spends 92 cents for food distribution, transportation and programs

What Will We Be Doing?

VCDC volunteers will be helping CAFB pack and sort donated food for CAFB programs, and assisting with various other tasks at the food bank. The CAFB says that all of these tasks are considered light/medium labor and typically involves standing up for up to three hours and lifting up to 35 pounds. They have also noted that this activity will take place in either their Food Donations Room or Repack Room and the temperatures can fluctuate, and thus ask for volunteers to dress for the weather and also to wear closed-to shoes.
