Usually needed the third week of the month for 3-4 hours if 3 or 4 people help out. The more hands, the faster the job gets done!Housekeeping Volunteer3-4 hours each week to do light housekeeping at the rectory, including cleaning the restrooms and kitchen, vacuuming and dusting the offices and meeting spaces.Food Pantry DriversTwo people with muscle are needed to pick up food items and meats on Friday mornings.
