Recruiting Organization: Saint Vincent de Paul of Alameda County

Fight hunger in Oakland - serve meals in our free dining room: Tuesday- Saturday 8:30am - 1pm

The St. Vincent de Paul Free Dining Room serves a hot, healthy meal Tuesday-Saturday. Located in one of the most distressed neighborhoods in Northern California, the Free Dining Room serves nearly 600 meals on average per day. Join our team of volunteers to help feed those who are hungry. This opportunity is appropriate for groups of up to 15 people.

SVdP welcomes students, ages 14 and older, to complete service hours in Downtown Oakland. Youth under the age of 18 will need a waiver of liability signed by a parent/guardian. Youth under the age of 16 will need an adult (someone who is 18 years or older) to accompany them the entire day of service. We love to have families volunteer together! We also accommodate small groups of students for high school service days.

Volunteers will be asked to:

serve food

serve beverages

assemble and pack lunches

wash and dry dishes

clean tables

assist with kitchen prep work

help with kitchen clean up after lunch

organize refrigerators or dry storage spaces

attend to all clients that we serve including families, young children, elderly, and disabled

Commitment: One time and ongoing volunteers are welcome

Volunteers will attend an orientation and receive training on their first day of service.

Let me know if you have any other question and I look forward to hearing from you,

Kristen
