This opportunity is working with our food pantry team in our warehouse bagging fresh fruits and vegetables for a future distribution. It requires the ability to stand for the entire shift, lifting up to 15 lbs repeatedly, and tying knots. We prepare fresh produce to serve 850-950 families on each production day.

This is a Monday or Wednesday opportunity only.

To alleviate hunger and homelessness in South Santa Clara County by providing food, housing and employment related services, and advocating for system changes to improve the quality of life for the most vulnerable people in our communities.

St. Joseph's Family Center has been a "lighthouse" agency in South Santa Clara County to low-income families and individuals who are in crisis situations and overburdened by the financial stress of living in Silicon Valley. We pride ourselves on compassion, responsiveness and creating valuable working partnerships with other nonprofits; small number of employees that can really make an impact; large core of community volunteers.
