Many Ways to Get Involved
Volunteer
Help to sort, bag and distribute food during CFM's Client Hours on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays.
Assist with food donation pick-ups, sorting, and restocking on Saturday or Sunday mornings.
Outside of these shifts, we look for ad hoc assistance to:
-
Sort recently donated items, like clothing and small household goods
-
Maintain and clean our facility
-
Provide translation assistance for clients (Cambodian, Arabic, Spanish, Portuguese)
-
Update record and book-keeping
Coordinate a Donation Drive
Collect Items to Donate
One very simple way to help would be to hold a drive for the items our clients request most:
-
Canned goods and nonperishable food
-
Winter coats, hats, gloves, mittens, and blankets
-
Back to school supplies
-
Personal care and hygiene items
-
Baby diapers and wipes
-
Gift cards to area supermarkets
Your company, group, school, or church can schedule a time for a representative from CFM to make a presentation to discuss becoming a partner in the mission work in Lowell. Use this as an opportunity to encourage volunteerism and serve to those in need.
Leave a Legacy
Some of our most faithful supporters have chosen to make Central Food Ministry the recipient of special In Memory Of gifts and donations upon their passing.
If you would like to do this either for yourself or your loved one, you can contact director.cfministry@gmail.com.
At the appropriate time we can set-up a custom donations page with photos and a wall where loved ones who donate can leave messages. Also, if you approve, we will post a recognition on our in the Special Thanks section of our website.
