Each day, volunteers assist in the delivery of more than 1,200 meals throughout Lake County. According to Joan Vith, Volunteer Manager, volunteers are needed for all routes throughout Lake County. “However, at the moment, we are particularly in need in the St. John and Schererville communities,” she said.
To register for training, or for more information on individual or corporate volunteering opportunities, contact Vith at (219)-756-3663, or email joan@mownwi.org
