Opportunity Details

Marin Community Clinics is seeking volunteers at our Health Hub food pantries. Most of our patients are low income families with socioeconomic and social stress. It is our priority to provide a safe, friendly, and culturally sensitive environment.

Health Hubs is an outdoor, community based, multicultural, and multilingual program that connects and engages more than 1000 people every week. Health Hubs provides access to healthy food and community resources that support the health and well-being of the community, regardless of race, age, income or place of residence.

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 health crisis Health Hubs is following the CDC guidelines. Our goal is to strike a balance between keeping the community safe while also performing an essential service and getting food to those in need though our drive thru and walk up food pantry distribution. We reevaluate safety protocols daily. We maintain safe practices, reducing the risk of virus transmission by cleaning, practicing social distancing, and wearing facemasks.

Health Hub Volunteer shifts:
Wednesday’s at Marin Community Clinic (3110 Kerner Blvd, San Rafael): 11:30am – 3:30pm (shorter/longer depending on attendance and food supply)
Thursday’s at Marin Community Clinic (6100 Redwood Blvd, Novato): 11:30am – 3:30pm (shorter/longer depending on attendance and food supply)

Volunteer service will include, but is not limited to, unloading and sorting food supplies, packaging and organizing food bags, distributing and recording food to the community, monitoring pedestrian and vehicle traffic, as well as site set up and clean up.

Mask/facial covering (one-way valve masks are not acceptable)
Wear closed toe shoes
We will be outside, wear comfortable clothing (we recommend layers, a hat, and sunscreen due to the ever-changing weather conditions)

We ask that any volunteer who does not feel well refrain from attending their volunteer shift

Length Health Hubs of food distribution is dependent on attendance – We currently provide food assistance to more than 1,000 people every week, but we do not know how many participants will arrive weekly or if they will all arrive early/late.

Thank you for your flexibility as we meet this emergent need.

Start School Right was started in 2015 to support Marion Independent School District students with back-to-school items such as school supplies, hygiene kits, breakfast food, tennis shoes and more. Previously, Kohl's volunteers have helped hand out items at Vernon Middle School. To ensure the health and safety of participants, this year, items will be delivered directly to families. We are needing volunteers to come to Vernon Middle School to sort and package items by family so our delivery folks can grab-and-go. Gloves and masks are required for the safety of volunteers and MISD families. Gloves are provided. Extra masks will be available if you need one.

You can save a life by donating 1 hour of your time from the safety and comfort of your home! We will send you everything you need in an Assembly Kit to make PPE with no special equipment needed! It's easy to do (ages 5 and up) and can make a huge difference!

Go here to sign up: www.sosforppe.org/make

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?
