North Stockton MERCY PEDALERS We go out on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays to serve the unsheltered community.
JOIN US AND BE A PART OF MERCY PEDALERS
- A. Mercy Pedalers needs volunteers. We need substitute volunteers who can go when a regular team member cannot go. We prefer to go out in 3 person teams. Presently, we need one person to join as a regular every week member of our Friday team. If not weekly, perhaps you can commit to every other week.
- B. We sometimes need volunteers to make sandwiches. We will give you the supplies and the sandwiches can be made either in our church kitchen or at your home. Let us know if you would be willing to be on our sandwich maker list for occasional duty.
- C. We need volunteers who have an SUV or hatchback, willing to drive if our regular team driver (Tracy, Rita, Joe) cannot.
- D. The day before each ride, we would welcome anyone that can come to church in the afternoon to help put together the 45-60 bag lunches. Call the team driver.
- E. High school students: You can help and get your community service hours. You do have to be at least 18, or go with a parent, to make the drive with us.
