Before you even begin thinking about volunteering, ask yourself – Am I well enough to volunteer?
Your safety and limiting the spread of COVID-19 is everyone’s main priority. We encourage you to review and adhere to the recommendations on the Buncombe County readiness site on how best to avoid COVID-19 and what to do if you think you might have it.
Bounty & Soul is a community-based non-profit with a mission to connect people to food, education and each other.
As market attendance continues to soar our need for handwritten love notes is growing. We're seeking a handful of volunteers to safely spend some dedicated time crafting messages of encouragement for us to slip into our weekly food bags. Bring a lunch, bring a friend, bring your craft supplies (or use ours). These love notes mean so much to our community!
As a new participant recently expressed: "Oh my goodness I just wanted to tell you how grateful I am for these beautiful messages that sneak their way into our boxes. The one I received yesterday was particularly special and was exactly what I needed to hear! I literally cried tears of joy when I read it. Thank you for all of your time dedicated to this beautiful volunteer project and thank you to all the people that send these notes, they really do make a difference!"
Craft Groups Occur:
- Thursdays 1pm-3pm and/or Fridays 9am - 10:30am at the Bounty & Soul office.
