Save to Favorites

Food insecurity is a crisis in our community and it has been accelerated by cost of living increases. An incredible 1 in 8 of our neighbors are in danger of going hungry. SACA needs weekly volunteers to help support our neighbors who depend on these services. Your dedication of time means the world to us and to the people we serve. We are in need of weekly volunteers Monday to Thursday who can commit to 2-4 hours to help in the food market, warehouse, thrift story and intake.

The intake volunteer check in clients, answer the phones and schedules appointments. These volunteers will help create an inviting and pleasant work environment and welcome clients to the food shelf. SACA’s office hours are weekly Monday 9am-4:00pm, Tuesday 8am-4:00pm, Wednesday 10am - 6:00pm and Thursday 8am - 3:00pm. We currently have the greatest need for bilingual Spanish/English volunteers on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays to assist with our intake process. Ideally, administrative volunteers would make a weekly or bi-weekly commitment. *On-call translating over the phone would also be considered!*
