Are you looking for a satisfying but flexible volunteer opportunity? Peninsula Food Runners is a volunteer organization dedicated to alleviating hunger and reducing food waste. We are building our volunteer base and invite you to join us. Peninsula Food Runner volunteers pick up excess perishable and prepared food from participating Donors (restaurants, corporate cafeterias, etc.), and then deliver the food directly to our Recipients (shelters, day centers for the elderly, Boys and Girls Clubs, etc.).
We are in urgent need of drivers for the Daly City, SSF, Millbrae and San Bruno area. Surplus food is available, but we have too few drivers to transport the food to local non-profits which feed the hungry.
Shifts normally take less than 60 minutes and can work around your schedule. Come join our team of volunteers! Go to www.peninsulafoodrunners.org and register under Volunteer Sign-Up. Or contact Liz at liz@peninsulafoodrunners.org
No additional volunteer opportunities at this time.
