MLK

The Martin Luther King, Jr. Branch of the Oakland Public Library is looking for volunteers to help staff with an after school meal and snack program.

Volunteers are needed Tuesdays/Thursdays 2:45-4:00 pm and Wednesdays/Fridays 1:15-2:30 pm.


Thanks to Children's Empowerment, an approved sponsor for the Child and Adult Care Food Program, a number of OPL branch libraries are able to distribute food to youth after school. We’re looking for volunteers to help OPL staff with set up, food distribution, and clean up. Candidates should be at least 16 years old and be willing to serve food (no experience is necessary). A three-month commitment to serve at least one day each week is required.
