Volunteer: Lasagna Love - Make A Meal for Those In Need in the Sioux Empire

Lasagna Love was started at the beginning of the pandemic when the founder of Good to Mama was looking for a way to help moms in her community. She and her toddler started making and delivering meals to families in the neighborhood who were struggling, whether that struggle was financial, emotional, or simply a feeling of overwhelm.
Lasagna Love has since grown into a national movement, with thousands of people all cooking and delivering meals to families in their communities. What we do is simple: feed families, spread kindness, and strengthen communities. Our mission is not only to help address the incredible rise in food insecurity among families but also to provide a simple act of love and kindness during a time full of uncertainty and stress.
Volunteers can sign up for a frequency that works for them, making a meal monthly, weekly, 3 times a week, etc. The volunteer would sign up on the website (lasagnalove.org), and then would be provided with a family's information to coordinate a date and time to deliver the meal. To register, please visit lasagnalove.orgFor more information, email Laney.

This chair has become very popular among those in developing countries and we need volunteers to come and cut materials needed for wheelchair production. We have the scissors, markers, and Naugahyde needed to complete this task. Please let us know if this is of interest to you, and we would love to talk with you about it!

This chair has been sent all over the world and is heavily sought after.
