Due to the pandemic, volunteers currently take orders and distribute the selected foods at the counter or make meal bags.
Assist with making approximately 1000 sandwiches for distribution in the market. Please note: This role involves working with and around peanut butter.
Volunteer Individually
Volunteer as a Group
All of our regular shifts are currently full. We are offering standby volunteering only.
After we receive your application, our SODO volunteer coordinator will send you an email to discuss shift availability and scheduling. Once we’ve found a mutually agreeable shift (or shifts), we’ll send you a confirmation email with all the details you’ll need for volunteering. Please note that we have a two-shift limit per week and that these must be on different days.
Unfortunately, we don’t offer drop-in volunteer opportunities. We plan our daily operations around the number of volunteers we have on the schedule. In order to best support smooth operations for our market team, all shifts must be scheduled in advance.
Orientation will be provided at your first shift.
We’re happy to provide hours confirmation for school or work purposes. However, we’re unable to offer court-related service.
Anyone who is nine years old, or in the third grade, is welcome! Nine-to-15-year-olds need to have a parent or guardian with them. Individuals who are 16 and 17 years old are able to volunteer on their own with an application and a parent/guardian permission form on file.
