Deliver Meals

Volunteers assist with packing out and delivering meals to homebound clients in San Francisco using their personal vehicle. The volunteer driver must be a fully licensed and insured in the state of California and have a safe and registered vehicle in good working order. 


Serve Meals

Volunteer tasks include plating food in the kitchen, serving clients their meals, and maintaining the cleanliness of the meal site.


Prepare & Package Meals 

Help us with meal assembly, packaging and meal preparation in our kitchen; and help sort and pack food in our warehouse.
