Volunteer: Donation Pick Up: Weis (Odenton, MD)

A volunteer will enter the store at the Weis in Odenton and go to the bakery, and tell them you are there to pick up a donation for "Love Wins Pantry."

This is a weekly recurring opportunity, so sometimes the donations are sizable, and other times it's only a few items. Either way, we are grateful for whatever we receive. Just about any size vehicle will do (except a very compact car- you will need to be able to fit several boxes).
