Last Call for New Volunteer Orientation in Destin Today
Based on data from 2015-16 school year and summer, FFT estimated over 6,000 total volunteer hours. What does that mean for the backpack program? It is like having 3 extra full-time employees for the year, at no cost!! This information is based off of serving 1,200 students in 2015-16. Projections calculate the number of students we serve will be double from the 2015-16 statistics to have a total of 2,400 students in 27 schools. With the new students comes a higher demand for volunteers; in short, we need volunteers!!
New Volunteer Orientation is today, March 22 and will be the last group session until this summer. Please plan to attend and bring a friend!!
4:30pm - Destin Pantry - 908 Airport Road
