Group Volunteering

Interested in bringing your group down for a day of volunteering? We enjoy inviting corporate, school, youth, church and other types of groups down to share in the volunteer experience here at SFBFS!

We can accommodate groups of 10-15 volunteers at once, but are happy to accommodate smaller or larger groups if necessary. Groups are most often divided into smaller teams of 2-4 group members and placed in the distribution programs (Food Assistance, Clothing, Mother-Baby and warehouse) because individuals can begin volunteering immediately and no specialized training is required. The minimum age to volunteer is 10 and youth under 16 must volunteer with an adult.

Most volunteer opportunities are Monday-Friday, 10am-2:00pm, but we can be flexible on times to better accommodate the group’s schedule. We have additional shifts on Monday and Wednesday evenings due to evening program hours as well as Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday mornings for mobile distributions.

Groups typically arrive at a SFBFS facility at 9:00am on a weekday, take a tour, receive a brief orientation and then volunteer from 10-2:00.

To see available opportunities for volunteer groups, please check out our volunteer calendar. For additional information, or if your group is interested in volunteering on a date/time not listed on the calendar, please email our Volunteer Services Manager at volunteer@sfbs.org to check on availability. We love hosting volunteer groups at our various locations to share in the experience on a daily basis.
