    Description

    Calling all drivers! PATH is looking for a volunteer to pick up food rescue donations each week from Sprouts (1260 Garnet Ave.) on Wednesdays between 10am-12pm and drop them off at PATH Connections Housing (1250 Sixth Ave.) in downtown San Diego. It's a quick drive with a BIG impact!

    These food donations help cut down food waste and support PATH's residents at our interim housing facility. You can also use your own vehicle if you prefer!

    Opportunity Requirements & Important Notes

    Getting Started: Please click "Express Interest" or email Sigrid at SigridS@epath.org if interested.

    Onboarding Process: Volunteers will need to fill out PATH's volunteer application, consent to a background check, and complete a tuberculosis (TB) test prior to starting their role.

    Time Commitment: 1st and 3rd Fridays of the month between 8:00am and 11:00am. The food pick-up and delivery can take up to 2 hours.
