Recurring Volunteer Roles
Everyone should have access to healthy food
Second Harvest provides nutritious groceries and fresh produce at distribution sites throughout Santa Clara and San Mateo counties. These sites are volunteer-run and rely on committed, dedicated volunteers who can support this effort on an ongoing basis.
We also welcome volunteers who want to help sort food, greet volunteers or lead new volunteer groups at our Cypress Center warehouse in North San Jose. Help us provide a warm and welcoming environment for our clients and volunteers. The below opportunities are available to those interested in volunteering on a regular basis.
If you can’t commit to volunteering on a regular basis right now, we’d still love to have you! Register for a volunteer experience with no long-term commitment through our calendar.
Volunteer Liaison (individuals)
If you are friendly, outgoing and comfortable with public speaking, this program may be for you. As a volunteer liaison, you’ll greet volunteers coming to sort food at our Cypress Center in North San Jose. Training will be provided so you’re comfortable with Second Harvest facts, answering questions, helping volunteers sign in upon arrival and lead meet-and-greet orientations.
Volunteer Team Leader (individuals)
Help us run our food sorting projects at our Cypress Center in North San Jose. As a volunteer team leader, you’ll be leveraging your skills to help us train and lead new volunteers. Become a leader in your community and help us end local hunger. Training is provided.
