Good to know

  • Category picked as 'other' — this is indoor warehouse/food-sorting work, not a craft or an outdoor cleanup, so neither 'arts' nor 'outdoors' fits well. This app would benefit from a dedicated 'volunteer' category.
  • Different SF-Marin Food Bank sites/programs have different minimum ages — Illinois St. warehouse and the Marin warehouse require 11+; Community Markets require 11+ with adult accompaniment.
  • Create a free account at volunteering.sfmfoodbank.org to book a specific shift; shifts are released quarterly and fill up.
  • Home-delivered grocery driving requires an 18+ driver, but riders (including kids) can be any age.
