Description
Tri-City Volunteers (TCV) Food Bank + Mobile Pantry is a non-profit organization that provides food assistance to the residents of Alameda County. We are the largest client-direct food bank in the Tri-City area. We serve up to 1,500 FAMILIES EVERY WEEK through our emergency food drive-thru distribution and Mobile Pantry Programs. With a small staff, a dedicated volunteer force, and a budget of around $600,000, we are extremely efficient in distributing over 5 MILLION POUNDS of food annually. TCV is open Monday for volunteers to pack food bags from 9:00am to 3:00pm. The drive-thru distribution is open Tuesday through Friday, 9:30-3:00 pm. TCV is closed on the weekends. TCV does not have any remote volunteer opportunities at this time. Minors must have parental consent to volunteer at the food bank. Minors who are 14 or 15 must also be accompanied by a parent/chaperone over the age of 18 at all times. TCV does not allow volunteers under the age of 14 years old at this time.
