Alameda County Community Food Bank Student Serve Day
July 17, 2024 8:30-11:30a
Your Hands, Their Hope: Join the Mission.
This youth group activity will leave you feeling full as you sort and pack fresh food in a giant warehouse at 7900 Edgewater Dr. Oakland, CA 94621. When you sign up you’ll get an email with all the details. Thanks for making a difference in our community in the name of Jesus!
Feed Hope, Fight Hunger.
BEFORE YOU ARRIVE:
- Shoes that cover your entire foot are required, preferably sneakers or boots.
- Appropriate clothing should be worn for your volunteer shift - limited jewelry, no perfume/cologne, and comfortable clothing that you don't mind getting a little dirty.
- Dressing in layers is recommended since our warehouse is not climate-controlled. This also means that the air quality outside will affect the air quality in the warehouse - please be aware of this if you have respiratory sensitivities.
- Volunteers are encouraged to bring a pair of sturdy, reusable work gloves.
- Youth (ages 10-17) must have the Waiver Form signed by a parent/legal guardian – if it wasn’t completed during the sign-up process, it can be printed here and brought to the shift. One adult volunteer must be present for every five youths.
DAY-OF INSTRUCTIONS:
- DO NOT volunteer if you're experiencing any signs of illness.
- Plan to arrive around 10 minutes before the shift begins for check-in.
- Pack a lunch or snacks! We recommend packing a lunchbox with an ice pack. We also recommend bringing a reusable water bottle.
