shelter that helps homeless people with meals, beds and other <strong>service</strong>s. Most homeless<br />
shelters welcome volunteers and have a variety of programs through which you can get<br />
involved. You might help prepare or distribute meals, work behind the scenes in the<br />
business office, help organize a food drive to stock the pantry, etc. Look in the phone<br />
book for a local homeless shelter if you are interested.<br />

collect food, manage their inventory and distribute food to<br />
those in need. The following link shows you the different<br />
