Thursday morning produce pick-up from Second Harvest Food Bank

ORGANIZATION: West Valley Community Services

  • 1 person is interested

West Valley Community Services (WVCS*) is looking for 1 or 2 volunteers to help out with weekly Thursday morning produce pick-up from Second Harvest Food Bank (SHFB).

Our agency, West Valley Community Services, picks up produce every Thursday morning from Second Harvest Food Bank. The food we pick up goes directly into our food pantry to serve our clients in need. We are looking for 1 or 2 volunteers to be trained and familiar in this process of pick-up and delivery, and volunteer each week from approximately 8:30-9am.

Volunteers could use our company van or you could use your own personal, large-sized vehicle - a truck or van would work! You'd pick up the produce from SHFB and then deliver the goods to WVCS. This is a great opportunity for volunteers that like to get moving and give back to the community, but might have limited time to volunteer.

The position requires two simple trainings, one with WVCS and the other with SHFB. Each lasts approximately 1 hour. Contact us to learn more about how you can help out with this special food pick-up volunteer opportunity!

*West Valley Community Services (WVCS) is a basic needs organization that serves people in need in the Cupertino, Los Gatos, Monte Sereno, Saratoga, and West San Jose areas. The mission of WVCS is to encourage the sharing of community resources, to provide basic human needs in a caring and dignified environment, and to provide opportunities for volunteers to participate in WVCS' activities.
