Our caregivers are falling ill at unprecedented rates because they don’t have the Personal Protective Equipment they need to fight Covid-19. How would you feel being asked to go to work in an environment where not only could it compromise your health, but the health of all your family members? You can help the people we count on to help us.

At SOSforPPE.org, we supply PPE Assembly Kits for our network of volunteers to safely make or assemble PPE and then we get it to our frontline caregivers to help keep them safe. We send you the Assembly Kit with all the materials you need to make face shields, masks or eaRests to help firemen, ambulance drivers, nurses, doctors, seniors, students and neighbors.

There is a tremendous need for Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for our caregivers and others, can they count on you to help?

The Pop-Up Food Hub welcomes volunteers who are eager to give their support to make sustainable food more readily available in our community. Our volunteers help pack fresh, local produce that will eventually make its way to individuals and organizations across the city.

Our volunteer opportunities have weekday and weekend availability and require some heavy lifting, comfort working outdoors on your feet, and interacting with individuals from diverse backgrounds. If you have foreign language skills, such as Spanish, Amharic, and/or Cantonese, please let us know! We ask that our volunteers commit to serving at least twice a month during the market season. Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate one-time volunteers.

The Florence Fang Community Farm is seeking motivated volunteers to help grow San Francisco's largest community farm. Help the garden become a self-sustaining urban farm. Most volunteer gardeners are immigrants leading healthier lifestyles, growing fresh produce and sharing Asian plants and features with all San Franciscans. Volunteers have helped us build this garden from the ground up.

If you enjoy being outdoors and getting your hands dirty, come by for a volunteer day. Get hands-on gardening experience and answers to your gardening questions while helping create and beautify the garden. To enjoyably participate in this project, volunteers must be able to do light garden work, including bending, stretching, and light lifting in an outdoor setting. Any training will be done by appropriate staff and will be specific to your assigned work area.

Our interviewers work directly with veterans and help them tell their stories, all while drawing out their important life lessons. This role puts you at the forefront of The Project's vital work. You will have the opportunity to experience, first-hand, the catharsis that occurs as veterans and their loved ones tell their stories and understand their experiences. You will surely develop a new perspective and build deeper interpersonal understanding as you conduct these interviews.

Interviewers do not need any previous experience to get involved. We require a simple willingness to talk openly and listen empathetically! Interviewers can conduct one interview or continue them on a recurring basis. We offer personalized guidance to each volunteer to help them prepare for this role. We ensure that our volunteers are ready to interact with and serve veterans. We encourage interviewers to seek out veterans they know personally. Though if you do not know a veteran or service member, we can connect you with someone who wants to tell their story.

Each interview lasts roughly 90 minutes and interviewers can complete them in person or remotely via a platform such as Zoom. Join The American Legacy Project today!

"Random Acts of Fun" is a task-oriented scavenger hunt that invites community members (older adults, families, school-age children and college-age teens/young adults of all ages) to participate in live and virtual tasks over beginning September 1 and through September 18, 2020. Tasks will range from fun and silly to fitness and wellness but will all be community-oriented and will take place throughout our six city service area of Highland Heights, Lyndhurst, Mayfield Heights, Mayfield Village, Richmond Heights and South Euclid. Pending any COVID-specific limitations on large group gatherings, there will be an awards 'ceremony' on Sunday, September 27.

Volunteers are needed to create raffle baskets, help with pre-event details in August and September, and 'awards day' set up and clean up as well as participate in the actual event if they are interested - it's also a great team building opportunity! Dates and times for volunteering will vary and should be scheduled with the event coordinator.
