Volunteers put their compassion directly into action, working in our garden, packing meals, sorting donated goods, and more, all so we can efficiently bring nutritious meals to every member of our community who needs one. 

We gratefully welcome community and corporate volunteer teams, as well as small groups and individuals, in various roles and locations. 

Opportunities include helping in our kitchen, planting or weeding in our community garden, serving meals from our A La Carte food trucks, delivering meals to homebound adults, and sorting and packing groceries. Most volunteer activities are in San Jose, and all are in Santa Clara County.

Through our efficient operations, volunteer workers, donated goods, recovered food, and community partnerships, we leverage every donated dollar. That means just $4.50 can build a 100% nutritionally complete meal, freshly prepared in our commercial kitchen. For even greater impact, join our Nourishing Network: $18, given monthly, can provide almost 50 meals in a year.

Join our mailing list and stay informed about all that’s cooking in our kitchen and our community. 

We welcome visitors to our kitchen to see our work in action. Just reach out and we’ll be happy to arrange a visit.
