Volunteers will unload pallets of food, and sort and bag the food. Volunteers may also be asked to assist with check-in, managing lines and ensuring social distancing is being observed by clients. Proper social distancing and hygiene measures will be in place and volunteers and clients are expected to comply.

Time frame: Every Thursday - 7:00am-10:00am.
Volunteers required: 3 volunteers each week.

Description

The Salvation Army was established in London in 1865, and since 1883 has been serving the San Francisco Bay Area, offering practical support, spiritual comfort and a critical safety net to people in need. The safety net is funded in part by donations from the Red Kettle Campaign which started in San Francisco in 1891. Nearly 600,000 San Franciscans receive assistance from the Army annually through a range of social services; clothing and shelter for the homeless, food for the hungry, opportunities for underprivileged children, alcohol rehabilitation, transitional housing, nutritional and housing support for seniors and relief for disaster survivors. For every dollar donated to The Salvation Army, 82 cents is used to support those services in the 16 facilities throughout San Francisco and South San Francisco communities.
