We rely on our volunteers to help distribute food out to those who need it most in our community. Types of volunteer projects at the SF-Marin Food Bank include helping to sort and package the food we distribute to food pantries, children's snack programs and soup kitchens throughout San Francisco and Marin. Projects typically involve gleaning fresh produce, repackaging bulk food into family-sized quantities, assembling grocery boxes for seniors, and sorting donations from food drives and grocery stores. In a single shift, you will be helping thousands of people get the food they need. At the end of a shift your Project Leader will announce specific stats for the poundage your shift helped to move.

Mission Statement
Our mission is to end hunger in San Francisco and Marin.
Description
The Food Bank plays a central role in the food assistance network in San Francisco and Marin, where one in four residents struggles to make ends meet. The food we deliver to our 450 partnering organizations, including 240 weekly grocery pantries, provides critical support to low-income families, seniors and individuals. Each week, our programs serve more than 144,000 people.
Delivering sustenance is just the beginning. We’re helping people achieve a lifetime of good health by providing nutritious foods - including an abundance of farm-fresh produce - and other vital resources such as nutrition education classes and pre-screening for food stamp benefits.
We can only accomplish all of this with the tremendous coordinated effort of year-round community support. Volunteers are at the very heart of our operations, boxing bins of produce straight from the farm, sorting food dirve donations, and packing bulk foods like rice and beans into family-sized portions. This year, more than 25,000 people volunteered their time in support of ending hunger in our community. We invite you to join us!
