Emergency Food Network partners with over 80 food pantries, shelters, and hot meal sites in Pierce County. Many of them rely almost entirely on volunteers to keep them running. There truly are tasks for people of all abilities and preferences, including packaging food, guest intake, delivery driving, shelf stocking, data entry, hot meal service, sharing healthy recipes, picking up donations from local stores and restaurants, sorting food, and working curbside to load food into guest vehicles.

Due to Covid-19, food pantries are experiencing an increase in guest visits, with some sites seeing twice as many visits as in 2019.  While many locations have support from the National Guard, this assistance will gradually be phased out towards the end of July, leaving many volunteers roles waiting to be filled. With pantries located throughout Pierce County, there is bound to be an opportunity that can work with your schedule.

We would love to help you find a food pantry to volunteer with that fits your schedule. Just let us know your preferences, and we will help put you in touch with right pantry so you can get started!


Contact us at (253) 584-1040, email MadisonS@efoodnet.org, or visit https://www.efoodnet.org/get-involved/other-volunteer/ to get connected with a program!

Biophelia Communications Specialist Volunteer CrowdDoing

Plant proximity has been shown to be beneficial in multiple ways including from air pollution reduction & stress reduction. These leverage points have been demonstrated to have positive medical consequences in terms of reduced opioid addiction, reduced medical mistakes, prevention of diseases & conditions such as hypertension & related complications, asthma, heart attacks, strokes, cancer, diabetes, alzheimers & dementia, schizophrenia, rheumatoid arthritisacute pancreatits, chronic kidney disease. We have also evaluated the consequences of proximity to plants on hospital staff presenteeism, absenteeism & turnover rates.

We have concluded that under any scenario we have tested, a network of plant walls & vertical gardens and other uses of plants could pay for themselves in as little as two years and provide beneficial outcomes for more than 20 years. Plant proximity is understood by the scientific community through the lens of ""biophelia"". Biophelia is the visual & sensory experience of plants and proximity to plants. You have expertise relevant to reviewing for validity and applicability our simulation of biophelia in hospitals. Our draft aims to forecast the social outcomes that could be caused by varying scenarios of biophelia in hospitals.

We have aimed to consider prospective benefits to all stakeholders. We have structured this to be a flexible model that can be adapted to any hospital circumstance. We’ve aimed to identify both health outcomes, environmental outcomes financial outcomes.

Forest Fire Prevention Derivatives, CrowdDoing, Volunteer Project Manager
Bobby Fishkin, lead author

In 2018, Sacramento was named the ""the Most Polluted City on Earth"" due to ""smoke from Camp Fire,"" This proposal aims to prevent that from happening again through adopting a systemic approach and collaborating with stakeholders to actively prevent future such events. The insurance industry, along with institutional chief risk officers, have begun to recognize the importance of moving from ""loss compensation to loss prevention.""

CrowdDoing and Project Heather propose launching a prevention derivative with two new stakeholders: (a) contingent payers who pay in proportion to the reduction in risk, and (b) impact investors who finance social innovations in which their return is similarly proportional to the reduction in risk. It will build on existing precedents for contingent contracts involving social- innovation-based risk prevention.

Forest Fire Prevention Derivatives, CrowdDoing, Volunteer Insurance Underwriter
A spectrum of forest fire risk prevention approaches are available: from creative new social innovations to well-established interventions.The forest fire risk prevention derivative would first survey existing forest fire prevention interventions in Greater Sacramento with an eye towards which ones might be suitable to support and expand. It would then review global social innovations that might be relevant to Northern California to determine which to replicate. Entities involved in risk management and risk securitisation, from insurers to reinsurers to retrocessionaires, ought to welcome the chance to share liability proportionally through a commons of prevention innovations. The prevention derivative can expand as more institutions and individuals join as contingent payers and impact investors in order prevent a larger portion of collective risk. Payments by private and public institutions to support prevention derivatives can be in-kind, through services, and/or financial

We are in the midst of a planetary crisis with government and world leaders not working fast enough to solve critical issues like climate change, hunger, and the global health epidemic. Change Food is launching a program to encourage residents of local communities to help solve these problems in their own communities.
https://www.changefood.org/plant-eat-share/

Plant Eat Share is a creative effort to encourage growing and/or providing healthy food for free in communities around the world. Change Food will aggregate groups and programs already working in some way to provide healthy food for free to communities, as well as host plantings in designated areas across the US and world. Plant Eat Share will template and encourage other communities to adapt and replicate these programs, as well as to develop new ways to grow and offer food for free. This is being done all in an effort to create a global movement of individuals and groups growing food in their community for all to eat and enjoy.

We're looking for pro bono help in building a database, map, action kits, web framework, and an app perhaps (?) so anyone anywhere at any time can have all the resources they need to plant food in public spaces for the community to eat. For free.

We are also seeking researchers and writers to help gather the information - rather than recreate the wheel, we want to aggregate the best of the best already out there and supplement with our own materials once we identify gaps. We want to promote the great work of other groups and to help bring the food, hunger, climate change and other movements together - all in order to help galvanize a planetary movement of global citizens working to solve problems together, from the ground up.

We would also appreciate experienced help in creative fundraising and social media to help fund and market the program around the world.

Thank you for your consideration. We'll only solve the problems facing us today by working together.
