Do You Have 90 Minutes to Help Transport Food?

Flexible Schedule | San Jose, CA 95110

We are seeking volunteers that can pick up food in the mornings or mid-afternoons from local companies and then drive the food to non-profits that feed their clientele. For example, the food might be driven to a local nonprofit that feeds the homeless, elderly, children, recovering addicts, etc. Volunteers use their own cars and each food run takes about 90 minutes. Check out our video on our website explaining what we do: www.peninsulafoodrunners.org Also check out our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/PeninsulaFoodRunners If you can help us out once a week or twice a month, it would really help. It's satisfying and flexible and we are organized! Let's keep this food out of land fill and into bodies. Please respond through Volunteer Match, contact Hoai-An, (408) 726-2742 and she can tell you more or sign up at: www.peninsulafoodrunners.org Thank you!

Do you have 90 minutes to deliver food for the hungry?

Flexible Schedule | San Jose, CA 95125

Peninsula Food Runners: Help feed those in need! Peninsula Food Runners seeks volunteers to help reduce hunger and food waste in our community. We transport perishable and prepared food from food donors to local non profits that feed the hungry. Here is an example: Lots of high tech companies in the area feed their employees, but have excess food after the meals are served. We partner with these companies and use our volunteers to transport the food to local non-profits that serve the food to their (hungry) clients. That could be poor senior citizens, foster youth, homeless shelters, Boys and Girls Clubs, drug recovery programs, etc. Our food runs take about 90 minutes and we ask our volunteers to try to do one food run a week, or two a month. Check out our video on our website explaining what we do: www.peninsulafoodrunners.org Also check out our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/PeninsulaFoodRunners We have a very efficient system and our volunteers enjoy the satisfaction of making a difference in their community. We serve San Mateo and Santa Clara Counties. We perform 30-35 food runs a day but have enough surplus food to feed many more. We just need the drivers to get the food from the donor to the non-profit. Volunteers use their own automobiles. Let's keep this food OUT of landfills and get it into bodies! Come join us!
