This Food Distribution is for Homeless Veterans, Veterans in Need and their families. If you've ever wanted to THANK a VETERAN FOR THEIR SERVICE this is your chance! We'll be packaging and putting food in the cars of approximately 230 Veterans - maybe more! During Food Distribution, the SA Food Bank delivers a truck FULL of food - in big bags/boxes. We don't have to unload the truck (anymore) but we'll bag the food into sizable portions - according to the number of veteran families in need that day. During this event, the SA Food Bank will bring enough food to serve anywhere between 200 - 250 families. Come help our cause and truly make a difference to our local veteran community. Volunteers assist by: - Helping to verify the veterans' status (check ID cards) and check them in (they’re all pre-registered) - Interacting with those waiting in line for food - Packing groceries for distribution - Loading groceries into their vehicles - set-up tents, tables, signs, etc., etc.,.
You must be at least 15 years old to volunteer for this event.
Please pre-register using the link above. When you arrive, introduce yourselves to each other, check-in or sign-in (3 sheets if you didn't pre-register), and we'll brief everyone on how to set-up for the event. There will be water and various snacks. Wear comfortable clothing, closed-toe shoes (no sandals), hat (if you wear hats), and bring gloves if you'd rather wear something other than disposables. We will be working outside and we never know what the weather will be. We work no matter what! Some of the boxes can be heavy, but you will not be asked to carry or do more than you can or want to. Take a couple of pictures if you can AND have fun! :)
