Group Volunteer Opportunities

We need people like you

Thank you for your interest in volunteering for Second Harvest. We couldn’t do what we do without the generous support of people like you. Volunteering as a group can be a great team builder, or a fun way for friends to do something meaningful together. The following opportunities are for groups of five or more.

Check out our group calendar for dates and times that work for your group.

Sort food in our warehouse

Help us sort and box the fresh produce and healthy groceries we provide to neighbors in our community. Shifts are available at our Cypress Center in San Jose.

Distribute food to the community

Help your neighbors get the nutritious food they need. Volunteer with your group of five to 20 at one of our community distribution sites in Silicon Valley.

Virtual food drives – a.k.a. fundraisers – are a great way to support the cause. Create a customized fundraising page, spread the word and raise critical support.
