Alameda County Community Food Bank
Alameda County Community Food Bank partners with more than 200 food pantries, hot-meal programs, senior centers and other non-profits to distribute millions of pounds of food every year. Some of our "partner agencies," as we call them, pick up the food they distribute from the "Community Market" at our warehouse in Oakland. We need volunteers' help to maintain the shopping floor -- the individual will aim to serve as another resource (in addition to staff) to whom Shoppers can ask questions, provide product information, in addition to specific duties laid out below.
Community Market Volunteers are asked to commit to at least one regular weekday morning (7:30-11:30am) for at least a month.

Founded in 1985, the Food Bank's primary purpose is to collect and distribute nutritious food to Alameda County's low income residents. The Food Bank accomplishes this through its network of 300 hunger relief agencies which includes food pantries, soup kitchens, residential and day programs, shelters, and USDA distribution sites. In the 2010-11 Fiscal Year, the Alameda County Community Food Bank distributed over 20 million pounds of food to provide food assistance to 49,000 people in need each week.
We'll work with your schedule.
