    WE NEED HELP! Food Pantry - South of Market

    Our food pantry in the South of Market urgently needs volunteers to help serve around 200 households every Friday morning, largely from the low-income elderly community.

    Volunteers will assist with unloading and sorting food donations, setting up the pick-up area and passing out portions of food. Volunteers may also be asked to assist with check-in and managing lines.

    Time frame: Every Friday - 6:45am-9:30am. Pantry will be closed November 28th 2025 and December 26th 2025.

    Volunteers required: 4 volunteers each week.

    Requirements: Must be able to stand, walk, lift medium-heavy weights and be physically well with no underlying health issues. Cantonese/Mandarin language skills VERY helpful.

    The Food Pantry takes place in the parking lot entrance of our South of Market Corps Community Center - access from Clara Street (4th & Clara).

    To register for this activity, volunteers will need to complete on-line registration through The Salvation Army's volunteer website to attend to required volunteer waivers. See link
