You're joining a team of over 200 volunteers who will make sure everyone stays safe and organized during the giveaway and help the San Francisco African American Faith-Based Coalition and SF Department of Public Health feed over 5000 families like it's never done before.

Feeding 5000 Families volunteer requirements:
  • All volunteer roles require two to four hours of standing and walking.
  • All volunteers are expected to stay the full hours of their shift - please only select a shift you can arrive at the start time and stay for all hours.
Feeding 5000 Families volunteer roles & shift times:
  • Set-up volunteers (6am - 10am): This role will assist leads to set-up the staging areas and lanes. Volunteers will move pallets from the lanes and discard cardboard, plastic wrap, etc. from the area as needed.

  • Load volunteers (various shift times; greatest need for support): This role will follow the instruction of the Lane Captain. Volunteers will work in partnership with other team members to lift and load boxes (up to 25lbs.) into vehicles.

  • Support volunteers (8am - 3pm) (all shifts filled): This role will help with a variety of support-related tasks including helping to advance vehicles into respective lanes, escort media members to designated areas, ensuring staging/holding area is not congested, ensuring the "refresh stations" are managed, and/or serving as the communication links when needed. These roles are appropriate for minors, seniors, and individuals with limited mobility.

  • Clean-up volunteers (12pm - 4pm): This role will ensure all debris is removed from the property and properly discarded. The Clean-Up team will ensure all pallets are stacked and dumpsters/debris cans are secured. This role will also pick up the refresher stations, stack traffic cones, remove signage, break down tents, barricades, sand bags, etc.

About Livable City

Location:

66 Mint Street, 2nd floor, San Francisco, CA 94103, US

Mission Statement

Livable City works to create a San Francisco of great streets and complete neighborhoods, where walking, bicycling, and transit are the best choices for most trips, where public spaces are beautiful, well-designed, and well-maintained, and where housing is more plentiful and more affordable.

Description

Livable City engages San Francisco in three ways - as the City’s livability advocate, as the City’s Open Streets provider, and as a people’s planner.

Livability Advocate. We advocate for policy changes, programs, and projects which make San Francisco more sustainable, livable, and equitable. Over the past decade, Livable City has become one of the City’s most effective advocates.

Open Streets Provider. Livable City organizes and manages Sunday Streets, San Francisco’s open streets program, providing 15 yearly miles of car-free open space on City streets across seven neighborhoods. Sunday Streets serves over 100,000 people yearly with free activities, resources and recreation and is produced in partnership with City agencies and neighborhood and nonprofit partners.

People’s Planner. We work directly with residents and small businesses to make San Francisco neighborhoods more livable, including helping enact planning and zoning changes responsive to neighborhood needs, helping plan and secure funding for street and open space improvements, preserving housing and local landmarks, and helping neighborhood-serving small businesses and community services thrive.
