Want to get a workout while helping to end hunger and poor nutrition in your community?
Berkeley Food Network seeks to improve nutrition security by using innovative, community-centered solutions to build a more sustainable, resilient, and equitable food system. Anchored by our Berkeley warehouse, our direct distribution programs and redistribution to frontline organizations for the county food bank aim to get high-quality, healthy food to people in need.
None of this work is possible without the hard work of our amazing volunteers!
The Wrap-Up volunteer shift is a physically demanding shift and includes light and heavy lifting, sweeping and mopping the 10,000 square foot warehouse, pushing our waste bins out to the curb, walking throughout the warehouse, and wiping down equipment to keep our facility sanitary.

Mission Statement
To help establish a foundation of good health from which all Berkeley residents can pursue opportunity, the Berkeley Food Network aims to provide an innovative, community-centered network of food sourcing and distribution to alleviate the problems of hunger and poor nutrition in Berkeley.
Description
Anchored by our West Berkeley warehouse, our sourcing and distribution programs aim to get high-quality, healthy food to people in need. We operate several direct food assistance programs and serve as a hub for dozens of community-based organizations to shop for food for their pantries and meal programs. Altogether, we support 6,500 community members a week with healthy, no-cost food.
1 in 4 residents in our community is experiencing or at-risk of hunger. Our goal is to ensure that Berkeleyans have regular access to substantial healthy food.
BFN works to alleviate hunger and nutrition insecurity by providing food to anyone in our community who needs it. We center our work on our members (clients) and our community-led partner organizations by being responsive to their needs. BFN sourced and distributed over 1.6 million pounds of food in 2023, and provided healthy groceries to as many as 3,500 people a week.
