Volunteering

We are fortunate at Loaves & Fishes Family Kitchen to have many wonderful, dedicated volunteers. Without them, we wouldn't be able to do what we do. We invite you to join us in our service to the community. Whether you come as a "regular" or on a one-time basis, your time and service are invaluable to our agency.

Choose from the list below to learn more about our volunteer opportunities, or contact our volunteer coordinator by phone (408-439-0915) or email.

Meal Program
Because our staff is small, we depend largely on our volunteers to help with our meal program. As a volunteer at Loaves & Fishes Family Kitchen, you may be asked to help with all aspects of the meals, including setting up our dining room for dinner, preparing the meal, serving and clean up. The time commitment for each meal is about 2.5 to 3 hours.

Other Programs
The following are some other programs that are in need of your participation and assistance!

Grocery Bag Program: As a volunteer with the Grocery Bag Program, you will help set up, distribute grocery bags to families, and put away food following the program. We need help the 2nd, 3rd and 4th Wednesday of every month from 9:15 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.

Holiday Programs: Special holiday programs include Senior Brunch, Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners, and Parent Shopping Day in December.
