I want to help
Two mornings a month.
Most volunteering takes months before you see what it did. This takes one morning. You sort what comes in from the Central California Food Bank and from local donations, and by the time you leave it is with families who needed it.
Ready when you are.
Tell us which morning suits you. It takes a minute, and it is not a commitment.
Thursday before the 1st Saturday
9 to 11 AM
Packing, at the Marion property warehouse
Sorting and boxing non-perishable food. Quiet work, good conversation, and the easiest place to start.
1st Saturday of the month
8 to 10 AM

The drive-through in the parking lot. There is food to hand out, traffic to direct, and families to check in.
