  4. Groups please check the calendar to see what groups are currently helping host a meal.  Contact Patty Yoder patty@foodatfirst.com if you would like to schedule a volunteer group.
  5. Glean food from area grocery stores, ISU, restaurants, etc. on a recurring basis, usually weekly.  40 to 50 gleaning opportunities a week.  These are filled with volunteers who make a long term commitment on a recurring weekly basis.
