W&J College students connect with their community by participating in a number of volunteer opportunities throughout Washington and the surrounding area.
Below are some great ways to get involved with programs that promote sustainability throughout the community.
大华盛顿县食品银行的农产品
农产品给人民是食品银行的大型农产品分配项目. 每个家庭收到30-50磅的食物，大部分是新鲜农产品. “农产品给人民”是当地食品储藏室的一项额外资源, and community members can come to as many distributions as is needed and still attend the local pantry, 以便获得适当数量的食物，以支持他们的家庭. 全年每月有一次分发. 该项目在华盛顿县游乐场举行.
