Grant actually owned one slave himself as well: Grant himself owned a slave named William Jones, acquired from his father-in-law. At a time when he could have desperately used the money from the sale of Jones, Grant signed a document that gave him his freedom. Grant freed this slave in 1859.
Volunteers dedicated more than 100 hours, on average, to sports and recreation (120 hours), religion (117 hours) and social services (116 hours). But they gave only about half as many hours to education and research associations (66 hours) and to health-related organizations (58 hours) (Chart 3).
Grocery shop for about 4 hours twice per month or on a weekly basis. Choose the day of the week (Monday through Friday - Mondays are highest need day currently) which works best for you. Shoppers start at 6 a.m. and typically finish about 10 a.m. Six month time commitment required; we can accommodate snowbird, summerbird, vacation, and other schedule changes. Volunteers aged 16 or 17 must be accompanied by an adult volunteer while shopping. The adult must also register as a volunteer.

Our volunteers provide a way for clients to receive quality and affordable groceries while also providing a regular social contact.
