Up to 10 tractor trailer loads of fresh fruits and vegetables move through the Food Bank each week. This year, we aim to distribute over 20 million pounds of fresh produce -- and we couldn't do it without you!
Community Service Requirements
To receive credit for your school's community service requirements, please keep a log of the dates and shift-times that you have volunteered at the San Francisco Food Bank.
Our Volunteer Services team can verify your hours only if you have kept a log that we can cross-reference with our calendar. Click here for a hour-tracking form. If you would like a volunteer verification letter printed on official San Francisco Food Bank letter head, email our Volunteer Coordinator at volunteer@sffb.org. Please include your full name, mailing address and a list of the dates and times you came in to volunteer.
Allow a few days for us to process your request; no letters or time-sheets will be sent electronically. You may self-select the method you would like your community service hours verified, and be sure that this matches with the expectations of your school and community groups.
