As the world leader in volunteerism we feel a responsibility to unite our broader community, and to use this moment to become stronger.
See below to participate in our Impact Sector survey, access our COVID-19 Resource Hub, and explore our growing directory of COVID-19-specific and virtual volunteering opportunities.
Currently we are limiting volunteers on site to keep everyone safe, so this has led me to monthly scheduling in order to be able to honor all volunteer requests. We are also limiting days we are open and currently we are not operational on Saturday. We have planned on keeping this model through the end of 2020, if not longer.
Food Outreach has pivoted our client services model to provide pre packed boxes with a month's worth of food to clients on Wednesdays and Thursdays. These boxes are packed on Monday and Tuesday and our Chef works with volunteers on Fridays to prep and cook meals that will be frozen and provided to Food Outreach clients.
We plan to keep the number in the building to a maximum of 15 individuals, this number includes staff AND volunteers. This roughly equates to only 3-5 volunteers per day. The volunteer times are: Monday 10am - 3pm Tuesday 10am - 3pm Wednesday 9am - 3pm Thursday 9am - 3pm Friday 9am - 1pm Please check out this wonderful video showing our curbside model, if you haven't already! https://vimeo.com/ 415168297

To Provide nutritional support to persons with HIV/AIDS in order to enhance their quality of life.
Description
Food Outreach started in October 1988 with seven clients and has grown to serve more than 780 individuals in 1998. In fulfilling its mission, Food Outreach provides food and nutritional support to persons with HIV infection who are indigent, who find preparing meals difficult or impossible, or who are in the workplace and can extend their employment by removing extraneous demands on their energy. Food Outreach and its 400+ volunteers who cook food, pack orders and provide home delivery, is the only St. Louis-area organization focused solely on providing nutritional support to persons living with HIV/AIDS.
