Cherryville Community Food and Resource Society has an INCREDIBLE team of volunteers who support our vision and mission for increasing access to programs and services within the Cherryville area. Our 2024 focus is to strengthen our current volunteer base and actively recruit for new members. Some exciting things we do with our volunteers include regular “coffee breaks”, socializing events, and appreciation gestures. Without our volunteer team, the work we do in Cherryville would not be possible and we want to take a moment to highlight the incredible people part of our organization. Below are photos from our BBQ Social where volunteers were invited to bring their families and enjoy burgers, ice cream, and games.

Unfortunately not all of our volunteers were able to make it to this event and the above photos only showcase a fraction of those who donate their time to CCFRS. Thank you Thank you Thank you to all those incredible individuals who support what we do at Cherryville Food and Resource Society.

We wrapped up our final art class for Textile Arts aimed at children aged 6-9, and what a fantastic session it was! To conclude, we dove into some embroidery, and the kids truly showcased their creativity and skill. In our previous class, we explored weaving techniques and even discovered how to print on fabric using styrofoam, which was a hit! It has been a wonderful journey, and we’re excited to announce that the next Textile Art class for ages 9-12 will kick off on April 1st, 2025. Registration is currently open, so be sure to sign up!
