Community Meal at the Hope Center

Insight Housing (formerly Berkeley Food and Housing Project) has served a free daily meal to the community since 1970. Join in this tradition at the Hope Center - located at 2012 Berkeley Way!

We need volunteers to serve meals Monday-Friday from 2:30-4:30, as well as volunteers on Saturday and Sunday from 11:30am-1:30pm, to help with packing meals for our Programs. We have 50-100 visitors on a daily basis. Volunteer tasks include serving meals, packing lunches for our women's shelter and respite program, and light cleaning after community meal concludes at 4 pm.
