Women's Daytime Drop-In Center gives out free breakfast and lunch, groceries and hygiene supplies to unhoused and low income women and children -- Mon - Fri 8:30 - 3:30.

We are currently looking for volunteers to do a weekly 2 1/2 - 3 hour shift to serve breakfast, lunch, assemble groceries and hygiene products for our clients that visit our center. This involves greeting them at our hospitality window, getting information, packing meals and groceries and other available items. You may also help us with small projects to help keep our center well stocked and clean.

If you prefer more admin and organizing work vs. client interaction, let us know.

We ask for a minimum of 10 weeks as it does take about 3 shifts to fully onboard in this volunteer position.

No previous experience is necessary, just a desire to serve women and families in need. If you like to prepare meals, do note that in your response to us.

You will be asked to wear a mask during your shift and a TB test is required within the first 8 weeks of volunteering

Please feel free to email us to join our volunteer family: email staff@womensdropin.org.
Also you can fill out our volunteer request form on our website https://www.womensdropin.org/volunteer
Or call (510) 548-2884 to speak to our volunteer coordinator

We have monthly volunteer orientation zoom calls where you can learn more about our center, your role as a volunteer and how you can serve our community. We will send the link to you in our response.
