But did you know we also serve the community through a robust home delivery program, almost entirely powered by <a href=\"https:\/\/sowhatelse.volunteerhub.com\/vv2\/\">volunteers<\/a>?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Immediately after we began our hunger relief operation in 2020, we recognized there was a real need to connect clients with disabilities and insufficient transportation to more accessible hunger solutions. Every day, food insecure individuals reached out to us looking for help, but were unable to leave their homes. We didn\u2019t think it fair to deny them access to our free food resources just because they couldn\u2019t drive to a pantry or wait in a line or carry a heavy box. And thus our Home Delivery Program was born!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today the Home Delivery Program serves over 600 families every single week. Dozens of volunteers work with our hunger relief team to prepare bags filled with all the groceries a family would need. Then, our superb team of volunteer drivers fill their cars with bags and hand deliver them to families across Montgomery County and beyond!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our program is a lifeline for the families that need it. As one client wrote to us, \u201cWe have no transportation, income, or food stamps and were starving before we connected with So What Else\u2019s delivery program. Now we are thankful to have food for ourselves and also help pick up food for others\u201d.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, as gas prices continue to climb, it&#8217;s been harder and harder to find committed volunteers willing to use their personal vehicle to make home deliveries. Every day new families reach out to us in hopes of being added to the list, but without an influx of new volunteers, we\u2019re forced to put them on a waiting list.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re interested in <a href=\"https:\/\/sowhatelse.volunteerhub.com\/vv2\/\">volunteering<\/a> with the So What Else home delivery program, please reach out to Megan at (240)-705-4345, or Emmanuel at (301)-613-6459. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you think of the So What Else hunger relief program, you probably picture long lines at a food distribution and crowds of people carrying large boxes filled to the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":3780,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[13,8,12,10,67,9,66,65,68,11],"class_list":["post-3777","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog","tag-accessibility","tag-food-bank","tag-food-pantry","tag-get-involved","tag-givingback","tag-home-delivery","tag-jointhemovement","tag-payitforward","tag-sowhatelsehelps","tag-volunteer"],"aioseo_notices":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Learn More About the So What Else Home Delivery Program - So What Else Inc<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Join the movement and Pay It Forward with So What Else!
