Pelathe Community Resource Center has several volunteer needs.

Director Bruce Martin said he needed a volunteer as soon as possible to keep the center’s files on food distribution updated and complete. Five helpers are needed to assist with future food drives. Two people also are needed to pass out food items and help in the pantry. Two volunteers are needed to maintain the center’s lawn.

Volunteers who work in the pantry would work either morning or afternoon shifts Monday through Friday. Martin said that volunteers would work about 10 to 20 hours a week, and schedules would be flexible.

Volunteers must be 18 years old or older, and an application is available at the resource center.

Last week’s results

Karen Davis said she had received about eight applications from volunteers wanting to participate in the VolunTeen program at Lawrence Public Library. She said more volunteers were needed. The program will accept a total of 32 volunteers.
