Start the New Year off on the right foot - lend a hand to people in need by volunteering at the Food Bank! Below are some brief project descriptions:

Sort Food

Language Support

Work off Parking Tickets (Project 20)

 

Come see what’s in season - from peaches to beans and rice - and get it out the door! Help us sort, package and distribute these nutritious foods for our community.

Schedule a visit for any of the following times:

• Weekdays: 9:00 am - 12:00 pm and 12:30 pm - 3:30 pm
• Evenings: Tuesdays and Wednesdays 6:00-8:00 pm and Thursdays 4:00-6:00pm
• Children are welcome to volunteer, too! Our minimum age limit is 8 years old during Saturday projects, and 4 years old during Sunday projects. Each elementary-aged child must be accompanied by an adult. (Middle School and High School students are welcome to participate in all project shifts.)

Sign up today!

 

Bilingual volunteers can help improve access to groceries and benefits programs. Come join us as we provide language support during pantry food distributions!

In just a couple of hours, you can help us ensure that clients, pantry volunteers and coordinators are communicating effectively and have the best access to community resources.

Activities include interpreting during conversations and some basic translation of materials and signage.  Current languages needed are Cantonese, Spanish, Russian, and Vietnamese. 

Interpretation opportunities occur Monday-Saturday during the daytime at locations throughout the city. We appreciate a weekly commitment for a minimum of 2 months (occasionally absences can be accommodated).  Please contact Lisa Mizokami (lmizokami@sffb.org, 415-282-1907) for more information.
