Active Opportunities (4)

Meal Locations Needed

Flexible Schedule | , 93101

Locations are needed around the south coast to provide meals to veterans and community residents without homes. Outdoor locations like grass areas and parking lots work well to meet the need. Indoor locations are welcome also. This is a great opportunity to make a huge difference in the lives of most food insecure people in our communities. This is a wonderful service learning opportunity for individuals, families, youth and groups. We also have volunteers ready to help. Thanks for considering your location. Don't let misinformation discourage you. Please contact us with questions.

Provide a Monthly Meal for People Experiencing Homelessness

Flexible Schedule | Santa Barbara, California, CA 93101

The COVID pandemic continues to impact the availability of food to low-income families and the houseless on the Santa Barbara South Coast. A Community Group is needed to provide a meal once a month to a group of people experiencing homelessness. This is a great opportunity for a group interested in helping others in an impactful way. We are always looking for groups to bring meals on Wednesdays, 5:30 at Pershing Park. The service usually takes no longer than 30-45 minutes from set up to finish. The group is responsible for bringing a complete nutritious dinner meal to share with 40 people. Assistance from other organizations may be possible if needed. A large collaboration of community organizations and volunteers have been assisting people at this park for over a decade and we are excited to have a new partner join the effort. Please respond with interest to provide a monthly meal. This is a small group opportunity. Thank you for considering this service to others.

Make Sack Lunches

Flexible Schedule | , CA 93101

Can you or your group provide 30-40 sack lunches weekly, monthly, bi-monthly, annually? We desire to assist the most food insecure population in our cities, houseless residents. You might be surprised to learn that people without kitchens, the "kitchenless", have no means to cook, store or refrigerate food. This means that most of the food distribution activities in our cities do not have food items for houseless residents. Sack lunches are a effective way to meet the need. Lunches are needed, especially on weekends, for people experiencing hunger and major food insecurity. I hope you can help. Thanks for considering.

Faith Based Groups Wanted to Feed the Poor; Locations Needed

Flexible Schedule | , CA 93101

If you're a faith based group then you are well aware of your mission to care for the poor. "Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thisty and give you something to drink." Let us be those that fulfill our mission. Locations are needed to host meals. Outdoor grass areas or parking lots are very sufficient. Indoor areas work too. This activity results in wonderful opportunities for your participants. We have volunteers as well. There is also opportunity to provide and serve a meal at an existing location. We hope to hear from your group. Thank you for considering.
