Food, Friendship & Fun: Volunteer for Senior Day

Save to Favorites

Senior Day at the Pantry Program, volunteers help sort through donated food products and make to-go pantry boxes to be distributed to families, seniors, and students in need then play a fun game of Bingo with the seniors!

Why: Volunteers gain firsthand experience of what our families & seniors especially face daily - food insecurity. Your support will help get more food in people's hands.

Who: Since 1972, the St. Francis Center (SFC) has provided relief and support to homeless and extremely low-income individuals and families in Los Angeles.

Welcoming all with joy, dignity, and compassion, we dedicate ourselves every day to Serving Hope in our community.
