We've Got Your Back - Food Distribution

  • Giving Children Hope 8332 Commonwealth Avenue Buena Park, CA, 90621 United States (map)

This is a great volunteer opportunity that occurs every Friday for individuals and groups wanting to be hands-on with helping the community and team collaboration.

Each week, our We've Got Your Back families are able to receive fresh food and essential items to support their families through our drive-thru distribution. You will help us to facilitate a food distribution event for approximately 200 to 250 families. This includes preparing stations and helping to distribute 50 to 80 pounds of fresh food into the cars of families in our We've Got Your Back program. Our staff will provide instructions before the event begins on what we will be giving out to our families that attend, as well as the amount per station. Staff will always be there to help and answer any questions/concerns you may have.

Please be sure to sign up at least 48 hours before a scheduled shift!
