Volunteering with the Mercy Brown Bag Program is a fun, rewarding way to make a real difference.
Make a Real Impact at Mercy Brown Bag
Every month, Mercy Brown Bag provides nutritious groceries to over 10,000 food-insecure seniors in our community—but we can’t do it without compassionate individuals like you.
Whether you’re packing bags, distributing food, or lending a hand behind the scenes, your time and energy directly support older adults who need it most. Volunteering with Mercy Brown Bag is more than just giving back—it’s a chance to connect, contribute, and be part of something truly meaningful.
