Distribution Site Safety: Please arrive at your volunteer shift on time and report to the Site Coordinator. Staff will go over safety and assign duties at the beginning of the shift. This is a walk-thru distribution, so be prepared to hand out food items to walking participants and help them to their cars. We ask that you are able to help with all aspects of the food distribution, from set-up to clean-up. Dress brightly or wear a safety vest, wear closed-toed shoes, bring water, and dress in layers. Thank you for helping us provide nutritious food to 142,000 individuals. Our priority is to feed the community and offer a great volunteering experience. For inquiries, please contact (707) 523-7905.
