Volunteer Groups at the Heart of the Food Bank
If hunger only happened during the holidays, the San Francisco Food Bank would only need volunteers once a year. Unfortunately, hunger is a year-round issue, and the Food Bank is working every day towards the goal of ending hunger in San Francisco. With more than 140 tons of food donations every week, it is committed volunteer groups like yours that make it possible for us to serve those in need all year long.

Joining Apple Corps provides your organization with the opportunity to make a lasting contribution to the San Francisco Food Bank and demonstrate your commitment to ending hunger in your community. Choose a schedule that works for you and we will provide a diverse array of projects and a running tally tracking your groups' achievements over the year.

Scheduling is simple.
Quarterly, monthly or weekly–choose times that work for your organization, and plan a whole year's worth of volunteer events in minutes! Advance scheduling allows you to select the times and days that work best for your teams, whether that's weekday, weekend, morning, afternoon, or evening.

Participation levels improve.
Potential volunteers have several chances to get involved. Plus, multiple prescheduled events allow for word of mouth to generate enthusiasm. Hearing about the fun, gratifying experience others have had at the Food Bank inspires people to sign up for the next volunteer day.

Benefits accrue.
No matter how many times your group volunteers, there will always be new tasks to learn and new goals to achieve. We add up the pounds of food that each team processes and keep a running tally over the course of the year. This gives individuals an instant and continuing sense of accomplishment, enhances teamwork within your organization, and allows organizations to demonstrate an ongoing and significant commitment to the community.

Few other volunteer opportunities can match the diversity and flexibility the Food Bank offers. Explore this opportunity for your team by contacting our Volunteer Coordinator.
