        VOLUNTEER

        Grand Junction Newcomers Club is known throughout the community as a great resource for able, dedicated, hard working volunteers.  Early in 2010, we did a survey of volunteer hours by newcomers during 2009., and the results were really surprising.  This great group donated more than 16,000 hours during the year.  This is the equivalent of this community having eight or nine full  time employees, doing valuable but frequently overlooked work, all for no pay.

        Community Food Bank of Mesa County is seeking volunteers to assist with interviewing clients and packing food boxes. Hours of service would be Mon.-Fri. 10:45 am to 2:00 pm.  Flexible on days. Please contact Erin Barry, Program Director, at 640-0336 or communityfoodbankgj@gmail.com.
