Volunteer Registration- Feeding Independence

Sat, July 25, 2020

9:00 AM – 4:00 PM EDT

Who: Volunteers partnering with The Independence Fund to provide no-contact delivery of food, cleaning supplies and equipment to area Veterans.

What: Feeding Independence! Serving our Nation’s bravest by providing food, cleaning supplies, and medical equipment to help them stay safe and still be able to meet basic needs during any national emergency, catastrophe, or pandemic. They will ask you to deliver two boxes and one bag of food and supplies to three different households. They will give you the addresses, names, and phone numbers. They will ask you to make this a contactless delivery, and to call the family once it’s delivered. They will also ask you to contact Independence Fund if, for any reason, you weren’t able to make the delivery.

Where: Volunteers will meet at a Garfield Terrace Senior Citizen Resident Council, of 2301 11th Street NW, Washington, District of Columbia 20001 to load their vehicles with supplies for the deliveries they will making. Deliveries will include canned food, produce, frozen goods, cleaning supplies like bleach, wipes, and hand sanitizer, and medical equipment like masks and gloves.

Why: Many of the Veterans and Caregivers served by The Independence Fund have injuries that leave them immune compromised and susceptible to respiratory conditions. Feeding Independence allows for a no-contact delivery of these basic supplies that will ensure these American heroes have their needs met during times of national emergency, catastrophe, or pandemic.
