Help Feed Those in Need in the San Jose, Santa Clara Area! Also Sunnyvale, Cupertino!

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! Peninsula Food Runner volunteers pick up excess food from participating Donors (restaurants, corporate cafeterias, supermarkets, bakeries, etc.), and then deliver the food directly to our nonprofit Recipients (shelters, affordable housing for families and the elderly, food pantries, Boys and Girls Clubs, etc.) We invite you to join us!

Check out this wonderful video explaining our work!
