    The Chinese American Planning Council (CPC) partners with City Harvest in providing bi-monthly free produce for members of our community. We ask for volunteers to help unload deliveries, pack food, help with setting up, and distribute food to community members. Volunteers who can provide language assistance in Mandarin and/or Cantonese are especially appreciated.

    All volunteers must apply to become a CPC volunteer and attend an orientation before volunteering. Orientations are offered monthly; if you are unable to attend, you may contact us to schedule a time to speak. Volunteer opportunities are shared via email with all volunteers who have completed the orientation.
