South County Outreach seeks summer volunteers

Each summer volunteer ranks thin out a bit people take vacations and spend time away from volunteer work. South County Outreach is looking for some people who want to make a difference. Regular weekly volunteers are needed to assist in the food pantry, thrift store, computer lab and office.

Two key areas of need currently are client-care workers making phone calls to help those seeking assistance and volunteers to sort donations made to the nonprofit’s thrift store, Upscale Resale, in Laguna Hills.

South County Outreach is also seeking corporate groups, clubs and service organizations to volunteer in the food pantry or host food drives. Friendly people are also needed to staff booths at community events to share information about programs and ways to get involved.

If you would like to volunteer, please contact volunteer coordinator Johanna Stickles at 949-380-8144, ext. 217 or email jstickles@sco-oc.org.
