Members from the Climate Action Committee have volunteered with Hunger at Home to support their food distribution at PayPal Stadium in San Jose. This is an excellent experience for each of us and a very worthy cause, and we have decided to participate the first Monday of each month. Hunger at Home collects food from many sources (grocery stores, stadiums, hotels, restaurants, etc) and distributes it to the needful in San Jose. The food packages include a box of fruit and vegetables, and packages of proteins, grains, canned food, nuts, cereal, etc. This is a great source for families in the area that are struggling financially.
Our role is to greet the recipients and provide them with instructions, then load the food into the vehicle. The recipients need to register ahead of time and are check-in upon arrival.
If you are interested in volunteering, navigate to this Google Sheet to sign-up ( https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1pdvS2CxiEaZXRWGqcC6jBr3GrZD193Q-oMbszAkKgqA/edit#gid=0 ). Please click on the link to open the spreadsheet then enter your name and contact info on one of the volunteer lines for the upcoming month. There are 5 slots for the volunteers and a couple of slots for backup persons, should one of the volunteers be unable to make it.
The event occurs on the first Monday of each month from 8am-11am at PayPal Park in SJ (1123 Coleman Ave, San Jose). Wear casual clothes appropriate for the weather as this is an outdoor activity.
