Looking for an opportunity to help at our Food Rescue facility? Food Finders owes much of its continued success to our dedicated network of volunteers! Everyone who is involved, whether on a regular or occasional basis, has a role in reducing hunger and is essential to sustaining our program. As little as an hour of your time a month or week can make a huge difference. We have no age restriction, although kids under 16 must be joined by a parent or guardian.

We have an ongoing need for volunteers to help us sort and box non-perishable food/hygiene items we receive through our Food Drives and for our Food 4 Kids program.
You can even involve your children and make it a family volunteer activity OR as a team building activity for you and your employees.

During the school year, Food Finders’ provides boxes of non-perishable food items to 47 local Long Beach schools. This donated and purchased food, packed and delivered by a team of volunteers, provides enough for 4-6 meals per family over the weekend in an effort to bridge the hunger gap many children experience when school meals are not available. The program is supported by volunteers who pack the food boxes and deliver the boxes to the schools every Thursday and Friday during the school year.

Do you have some free time during the day? If so, you might want to help us "rescue" food from going to waste.

Each year, we save an estimated 12 million pounds of food from being thrown away, and instead it is "redirected" to help feed people without money for food.

Working in our stunning four acres of protected woodland, we can offer teams of up to ten people the chance to maintain and plant our beautiful grounds for the benefit of our children. We rely on corporate volunteers to come in weekly from March to October to undertake the gardening as we do not have a permanent groundskeeper.

All we ask is that organisations cover the administration costs of the day through fundraising and/or help to buy any materials, such as plants that will be used on the day.

HackHW is the first ever hackathon organized by the students of Harvard Westlake high school in Studio City, California. Harvard Westlake is one of the best high schools in the nation for computer science. It has an amazingly comprehensive computer science curriculum and very talented computer science students. However, as high school computer scientists, many HW students lack coordinated opportunities, and the industry mentorship necessary to develop their skills outside of the classroom.

Hack HW is their solution to this problem. A small 50-student, 36 hour event, open to any Harvard-Westlake high school student, Hack HW not only encourages students to put their programming skills to practice, but also seeks to provide students, who may not have had the opportunity to try computer science, with an idea of what it means to enter the tech world.

To ensure that students are pursuing realistic projects and have the resources necessary to overcome programming and planning hurdles, this hackathon needs mentors with experience in entrepreneurship, iOS development, web development, or Arduino programming, 3D Printing, soldering and more throughout the event. That's where you come in. Volunteer your time for one or more shifts and help inspire our future leaders to create solutions with software/hardware hacking!
