Currently, we have a fairly full volunteer schedule, but we are always taking contact information for upcoming openings. Our busiest days are Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday when we distribute food. We have volunteers that arrive as early as 8am and leave around 3:30pm. The mornings tend to be the busiest and when we have the most volunteers.Volunteer duties involve unloading produce donations, sorting through and bagging produce, putting away perishable donations, making pre-packed shelf stable bags, assisting with the “running” of bags to the clients, and helping out additionally as needed. Ideally, the volunteer would be comfortable doing some lifting – probably not more than 30-40 lbs, but this isn’t a requirement. On Fridays, we receive a large delivery of food from the LA Food Bank that we have volunteers help to unload and put away. This is usually from 8:30am until about 11am. There is also the potential need for a volunteer to be here from 11:30am until about 2pm to answer the door, accept and unload donations, and restock the shelves. On Saturdays, we have volunteers that will make pre-packed bags and help with donations throughout the day.
We do welcome kids and teens to volunteer with their parents when opportunities are available. Email us about specific opportunities.
