We recognize that the new 20-hour CalFresh work and volunteer requirements may create added barriers for many individuals and families already navigating financial stress, instability, caregiving responsibilities, or recovery.

To help meet growing needs, we are expanding volunteer opportunities that support both our community and those working to fulfill required hours in a welcoming, trauma-informed environment.

🗓 Volunteer Shifts:
Tuesdays & Thursdays | 10AM–2PM

🌱 Volunteers receive fresh produce after each completed 4-hour shift.

Whether you are meeting requirements, rebuilding stability, or simply looking for a meaningful way to give back there is space for you here.

Message us to learn more or sign up.
