Free Groceries!

The second Saturday of every month,

Bible Way Christian Center in San Jose partners with Second Harvest Food Bank to offer hundreds of bags of free groceries to the local community. Volunteers are needed for every step of the distribution process:

• Unloading pallets of groceries from the delivery truck
• Prepping and packing individual grocery bags
• Putting bags in the hands of grateful families
• Assisting those who need help carrying groceries out to their cars

All volunteer tasks take place at the church. When you arrive, come to the loading dock in the back of the building and sign in. Wear comfortable clothes and shoes. You'll be on your feet most of the time. We go year round, rain or shine. Water and snacks are provided but feel free to bring your own. There are two volunteer shifts:

• Preparation 9:30am - 11:30am
• Distribution 11:30am - 1:00pm

Come for one or both shifts.The times are approximate and the transition is fluid so come when you can and leave when you must. We appreciate any time you're willing to share. All are welcome! There is literally a ton of work to do but we have jobs to suit every level of physical ability from ticket-taking to heavy lifting. It's a fun, fast-paced operation that will leave you tired but exhilarated.
