Your time Can Really Make a Difference

Regular weekly volunteers are essential to running our agency. Volunteering one shift per week makes a difference. Help by sorting food donations, packing family and homeless food bags, distributing groceries and produce, or sorting and hanging clothing donations, helping students, young and old, working at a computer, all while providing service to the customers with dignity, compassion and respect.

There are many other shifts available during the hours of 9:00am – 8:30pm Monday through Friday and Saturday 9:00am - Noon.

We have an ongoing critical need for regular adult volunteers to help in Louise’s Pantry and Gracie’s Clothes Closet, especially between the hours of noon and 3pm Monday through Friday.

We accept adult volunteers, youth volunteers, volunteer groups, and children accompanied by an adult chaperone.

Call our Volunteer Office at 408 278-2171 or send an email to the volunteer office by clicking HERE.

Adult volunteers are needed in the Pantry, Clothes Closet and Welcome Center!
