Volunteers are needed to help us pick up, deliver and distribute donated food to low-income seniors living in affordable housing. Many of our residents do not have the means to purchase enough food and many also do not have transportation to pick up donated food available in the community. This is a very meaningful volunteer role and the help is desperately needed!
Duties:
Pick up (pre-packed) grocery bags at Hayward Senior Center (22325 North Third St., Hayward 94546) and bring them back to 3 senior housing sites in Hayward. Volunteer must load/unload bags into and out of car on their own - bags weigh about 10-12 lbs. At the sites, bags are distributed to enrolled seniors and signatures collected on prepared USDA sign-up sheets. Volunteers will then be helping with distribution and interacting directly with the seniors.

Mission Statement
Eden Housing creates and sustains high-quality affordable housing communities that advance equity and opportunity for all.
Description
Eden Housing, Inc. is a California non-profit corporation founded in 1968 by six community activists who were concerned about the lack of non-discriminatory, affordable housing in Northern California. These volunteers began by rehabilitating older homes in Hayward for first time homebuyer families. In the mid-1980s, Eden Housing incorporated an affiliated property management company, Eden Housing Management, Inc. (EHMI), which currently provides quality onsite management and maintenance for more than 9,000 affordable homes throughout California. In the mid-1990's, Eden Housing expanded its scope to include the provision of free onsite support services and programs for its residents.Our services include technology programming; "green" resident education; youth academic, enrichment and recreation programs; programs for seniors and persons with disabilities; financial literacy; job/career preparation; and health and wellness programs for all ages.
Today, Eden has a portfolio of 9,000 units at 145 properties across 15 counties in California. Eden develops new construction and acquires and rehabilitates existing properties to preserve them. During the past 53 years, over 65,000 people have come home to an Eden Housing community. At Eden Housing, we have more than 20,000 households on our waiting list and a portfolio-wide vacancy rate of 1%, demonstrating a huge demand for our work.
