    Description

    Hi, Silver Creek, we need you!

    Hi,

    Are you looking for a satisfying and flexible volunteer opportunity? Peninsula Food Runners is a volunteer organization dedicated to alleviating hunger and reducing food waste since 2013. We would like you to please join us.

    We are seeking new volunteers in the greater San Jose area. We invite you to join us in feeding the hungry. Peninsula Food Runner volunteers pick up excess perishable and prepared food from participating Donors (restaurants, corporate cafeterias, supermarkets, etc.), and then deliver the food directly to our Recipients (affordable housing, community food pantries, Boys and Girls Clubs, etc.).

    We seek more weekday drivers in Santa Clara County to transport the food to local non-profits which feed the hungry. (Although we are seeking San Jose-area Volunteers, Peninsula Food Runners works with donors and recipients in San Mateo and Santa Clara Counties, from South San Francisco to San Jose to Half Moon Bay).

    Check out our video on our website explaining what we do: www.peninsulafoodrunners.org

    Also check out our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/PeninsulaFoodRunners

    For more info, contact Maria at (415) 203-8389.

    Or, sign up through Idealist, or on our website: www.peninsulafoodrunners.org
