About the Open Heart Food Bank
Over the past year, we transform a 19,000-square-foot warehouse in Livermore into Open Heart Food Bank, a hub dedicated to fighting food insecurity. Open Heart Kitchen is thrilled to expand the resources and services we offer through this food bank.

Through partnerships with local food pantries, Open Heart Food Bank improves access to free groceries throughout the Tri-Valley area. Additionally, the Open Heart Food Bank prioritizes food recovery efforts, ensuring that surplus food is safely salvaged, sorted, and distributed to families in need instead of going to waste. As the price of groceries and basic necessities continues to rise, so will our efforts to meet the growing needs in our community.

Volunteer Duties:

Under the direction of the OHK staff, the Warehouse Sorting Assistant volunteer will help with the day to day operations of Open Heart Food Bank. This includes loading/unloading OHK vehicles, sorting through donations, maintaining warehouse inventory, organizing warehouse inventory, and other warehouse related tasks as needed. Each shift will have different tasks depending on what the priority is for the day.

Please note this shift is for one volunteeronly at this time. Volunteers who sign up should be comfortable working independently alongside the warehouse staff.

Mission Statement

Equitable access to nutritious food today while building a food secure tomorrow.

Description

Open Heart Kitchen provides equitable access to nutritious food while working toward a food-secure future. Serving the Tri-Valley, we meet immediate needs through programs like Senior Meals, Community Meals, Mobile Pop-Up Pantries (grocery distribution), Open Heart Food Bank, and Open Heart Refuge (overnight shelter operating 365 nights a year).

Our guests include seniors, the unhoused, underemployed individuals, and low-income families, all relying on us as a safety net against hunger. We are committed to addressing both the root causes of hunger and the urgent needs of our community.
