    Description

    Senior Nutrition Sites need your help. Do you like to work with food & fun people? (Palo Alto)

    La Comida is a Senior Nutrition Program designed to help seniors live healthier, and vibrant lives through good nutrition and friendship. We are located in Palo Alto serving lunch Monday through Friday. Most volunteers help out 1 day per week between 9:30 to12:30 helping to set up the dining room and serve the lunch at our South Palo Alto site OR for 10:45 to 12:30 at our Downtown site.

    Our South Palo Alto Site serves at 455 E. Charleston Road, Palo Alto 94306 .Our Downtown meals are currently served as dine-in at the First United Methodist Church at 625 Hamilton, Palo Alto 94301. We serve seniors from the community over the age of 60 in a social setting. Protective masks and gloves supplied and we encourage clients to wear masks to be served.

    This is a great volunteer job for older adults wanting to help out in our community or high schoolers during their breaks or parents with school aged child (volunteer 1 day a week while your child is in school).

    Volunteering is a great way for retirees wanting to stay active and give back to your community and to meet people & make friends. There are a variety of positions available. Of course our volunteers are welcome to have a meal with us each day that they volunteers too!
