The Alameda Food Bank is currently serving 1800 families a week.

We always need volunteers for food packing and sorting as well as client check-in, food distribution, traffic control, set-up and clean-up.

At this time, we are looking for volunteers who can make an on-going, weekly commitment to the AFB.

This makes it easier for us to train a consistent roster of volunteers who will become adept at performing a variety of jobs. Please contact the Program Manager to discuss reserving a shift on an ongoing basis.

Age Limits

Volunteers must be between the ages of 18 and 64. We adhere to these limitations in order to comply with county and state guidelines for safety and social distancing during the COVID-19 crisis.

Location

Volunteers should go to 650 West Ranger Avenue, Alameda for their shift and park in the lot at the corner of Pan Am Way and West Ranger Avenue.

Dress Appropriately

Closed-toe shoes are required. Please dress appropriately for a warehouse environment.

Your Valuables

Valuables and nonessential personal items should be left at home or in your vehicle.

Code of Conduct

Volunteers must read Code of Conduct and Harassment Policy documents prior to attending a volunteer shift.

Sign Up for a Shift

Shifts are available on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday and vary between two and three hours each.

Check for open shifts that work with your schedule. Specific assignments will be determined upon arrival. Please arrive on-time and prepared to stay for the entire shift.
