Volunteer Coordinator - Help the homeless and hungry

Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: Hollywood Food Coalition

Greater West Hollywood Food Coalition (GWHFC) has been feeding the homeless and hungry a hot, fresh, and nutritious meal every day since 1987. As we expand our outreach, we are looking for a Volunteer Coordinator to help recruit, schedule, encourage and mentor potential volunteers to help us reach as many in need as possible.

This is an important, fulfilling and FUN opportunity to interact with new people, give back to your community, and hone your management and organizational skills.

The Volunteer Coordinator assists within filling these positions:

-- Kitchen Prep volunteers (making the food)
-- Dinner Service volunteers (serving the food)
-- Volunteers Drivers (picking up donations)
-- Volunteer Groups from other Organizations (Universities, Religious Organizations, Business Groups, etc.)
-- Assistant Volunteer Coordinations (to help you in these tasks)

This is a volunteer position requires a commitment of 10-15 hours a week. While much of the work can be done via phone, text, or email, occasional trips to headquarters will be required.

Join us in making a difference in the lives of those in need. Contact us today.

Mission Statement

The mission of Hollywood Food Coalition is to feed and serve the immediate needs of the hungry every night of the year so they can build better lives. Our vision is a city where everyone has food, community, and support. For 33 years, we have served a hot, nutritious dinner every night of the year to homeless and food insecure individuals. All our food is donated, and we share thousands of pounds of excess food with partner social service organizations all across the city.

Description

We serve upwards of 300+ people dinner every night of the year. Have done for over 30 years. No one is turned away. We get donated food, picked up by volunteer and staff drivers, and because of the Covid-19 outbreak have had to change our model from sit-down dinners indoors to handing out bags of food in "to-go," containers. We also distribute any excess food to other organizations that have no way to access donated food. We PREP the food (main course, (vegan and non) green salads, fruit salads, desserts, soups, drinks, and extra "later on" food...most of our guests are homeless). Then we SERVE the food. WE NEED VOLUNTEERS TO PREP THE FOOD AND SERVE THE FOOD. We provide masks, gloves (changed often), disposable aprons, a brief orientation when you arrive. We sanitize our environment every hour. We are wholly aware for the need of work-place safety so if any volunteer doesn't feel well, we ask them to stay home and come back when they are 100%. We are the only nightly dinner freely served in Hollywood and our guest counts have surged due to the the shutdown of many food stores, restaurants and bars and farmer's markets. WE NEED VOLUNTEERS TO HELP US. We only need 6 to 10 per shift.
