What: Launched in the summer of 2017, the Mobile Pantry program brings groceries to ranch workers that face food insecurity. Every other week, our pantry on wheels travels over 100 miles to distribute fresh groceries to the families. Your role as a volunteer is crucial because it is through you that this goal is accomplished. Not only are you bringing nutritious groceries like eggs, chicken, rice, pasta and lots of fresh produce, but you are also bringing a connection to those who live on the most remote ranches of West Marin. Apply on your own or with a friend.
Who: Individuals, 18+, Bilingual Spanish highly desired
Where: Round-trip driving from the Food Bank (Marin location) to Pt. Reyes Station and beyond

Mission Statement
Our mission is to end hunger in San Francisco and Marin.
Description
The Food Bank plays a central role in the food assistance network in San Francisco and Marin, where one in four residents struggles to make ends meet. The food we deliver to our 450 partnering organizations, including 240 weekly grocery pantries, provides critical support to low-income families, seniors and individuals. Each week, our programs serve more than 144,000 people.
Delivering sustenance is just the beginning. We’re helping people achieve a lifetime of good health by providing nutritious foods - including an abundance of farm-fresh produce - and other vital resources such as nutrition education classes and pre-screening for food stamp benefits.
We can only accomplish all of this with the tremendous coordinated effort of year-round community support. Volunteers are at the very heart of our operations, boxing bins of produce straight from the farm, sorting food dirve donations, and packing bulk foods like rice and beans into family-sized portions. This year, more than 25,000 people volunteered their time in support of ending hunger in our community. We invite you to join us!
