Read on to discover how you can serve with us. Right now, we're also specifically looking for Street Outreach Leads as well as Substitute Grocery Rescue Drivers. Contact Ken Miller (ken@crossstreets.org) for more info on these opportunities.
Help provide our neighbors the essential groceries they need. Our food pantry takes place:
At Creekside Community Church in San Leandro on the second and fourth Saturdays of the month
At Impact Church Bay Area on the first and third Saturdays of the month.
Learn more about volunteer roles below. Most of all, we need people to show to love of Jesus to our community!
Are you an early bird? Join us early to set up tables, pop-ups, and unload food.
Assemble food bags and load groceries into cars as they drive through.
Love talking to people? Greet clients, check them in, and build relationships with them.
We especially need people to help us direct the line of cars and flow of traffic safely.
Volunteer to deliver food to people unable to come to the pantry in teams of two.
All clients are invited to a Bible study in English to learn about who God is.
We've started a smaller pantry distribution on Thursdays on the weeks when the Saturday Creekside pantry will be held to serve our walk-up clients and better utilize our Food Rescue items. We are looking for a few people to help with the distribution and potentially do some home deliveries. This is an awesome opportunity to get some face time and deepen relationships with those we serve.
You can let us know if you are available to serve on the volunteer form for the regular pantry.
Join our Street Outreach team to take a hot lunch, snacks, hygiene kits, water, Bibles, and the love of God to the unsheltered in our community on the second and fourth Saturdays of the month. We're especially looking for people willing to serve as team leads.

Our Lunch & Showers program takes place on the same Saturdays as the food pantry at Creekside. Volunteer and help register guests, get them what they need to take a shower in our mobile shower trailer, and provide them a warm meal and fellowship. Showers run from approximately 8:00-10:00am, and lunch is served from 10:30am-11:30am.
