Saratoga County —The Saratoga County Economic Opportunity Council (EOC) is looking for volunteers to help with its Thanksgiving Basket project, which helps over 3,000 people in Saratoga County. People can help with any of the following:
• Making a monetary donation. One donation of $45 will help a family in need.
• Host a food drive at your workplace, organization or other gathering area. This helps to secure items that the EOC cannot get in bulk.
• Become a Donation Coordinator Volunteer to both solicit and coordinate donations of fresh produce.
• Become a Clerical Volunteer to input applications, place reminder phone calls and tag and organize baskets.
• Become a Packing and Distribution Volunteer, where you unload food, get ready for the packing event, pack bags just before Thanksgiving and help distribute baskets to families.
