Be a Distributor and Greeter at the Hygiene Pantry

Twice per month on Thursday evenings, residents at Shreveport Ridge Apartments visit the Hygiene Pantry, where they can collect free personal care items. By greeting guests and distributing requested items during one of these hour and 45 minute timeframes, you can help provide relief from relational and physical hunger for your neighbors, as providing free products frees up resources to pay for things like food and shelter. Adults and accompanied high school students are eligible and needed this month and throughout the summer (and students can earn signed-off volunteer hours!).

In Carole’s role as the Director of Serve she strives to make sure that Arcola is active in our community, both locally and beyond. She came to Arcola in 2014 and immediately began singing in the choir; soon after she expanded her church involvement by helping Arcola provide support to several of the local schools. Her passion for helping under privileged children, along with management skills she honed as the founder and president of a local company – Red Team Consulting – complement each other as she works to find ways for Arcola to share God’s love throughout the community. Carole, her husband Joe, and teenage son Zac live in Brambleton with their adorable beagle – Basile. They love travelling together, where the only difficult part about being away from home is leaving Basile behind.
