Feed the hungry in our communities..those in need are a brother, sister, mother, father, or a friend to someone.

Huge call for all living in the Peninsula region

Peninsula Food Runners relies on volunteers to be successful. You can volunteer for a regular weekly food run, which is a pickup and drop-off that normally requires 1 to 1-1/2 hours to complete. You can also volunteer for the occasional backup or on-call food runs.
