Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano

Family Food Sorts are specifically geared to include families with young children (age 5-10) who are not allowed to volunteer at our other shifts. Everyone in your application must be from the same household and must be able to work in close proximity to one another in order to be approved. Families with children who are older are also welcome. Scheduling is first come, first served.
