SERVICE OPPORTUNITIES:

There are also opportunities to serve at the Sunday Breakfast Mission to support of this project. All service opportunities occur at the Sunday Breakfast Mission at 110 Poplar St, Wilmington, DE. Please note, the service opportunities have changed over time as the method of food box distribution has been altered due to Covid-19. Most opportunities require volunteers to be on their feet for the duration of the volunteer time.
