Why do I volunteer?  I need connection with male seniors, friends, social, humor, compassionate connections, and meaningful work."
I volunteer here because I truly believe I contribute to helping others . The volunteers are all good people."

You can help!

Friends in Need relies heavily upon generous and dedicated volunteers to sort and stock donations and serve our clients. We only have one employee and everyone else is a volunteer which truly makes this an outstanding organization.

To volunteer your time and talents please contact Michelle Rageth at (651) 458-0730 or director@finfood.org.
