Groceries for Seniors

I volunteered here back when I lived in San Francisco. My volunteer position was the «Food Warehouse Person.» My duties:
— unload groceries from the van
— sort and organize all the food
— distribute them evenly into grocery bags
— hand out the full grocery bags to the seniors waiting outside
The volunteers met at 9am in front of the church, and already there was a line of elderly recipients waiting. It broke my heart to see so many hungry people. I know hunger is a major problem in the world, but we don’t normally see it right in front of us.
The group of volunteers were a diverse bunch and it was fun meeting and greeting them all. I’m definitely volunteering here again when I come back to San Francisco!

Looking for a place to volunteer in SF? Look no further!
The Groceries for Seniors program delivers food to seniors in The City who would otherwise go hungry, most of whom live in the Western Addition and China Town.
The program is run out of Old St. Mary’s Church on California St. by an ex– Haight Ashbury Food Program volunteer, John Meehan.
Good people, good cause.
Check ‘em out and get involved!
