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, and 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!

You can also serve at our Thursday mini food pantry.
We've started a small 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. Let us know if you are available to serve on the volunteer form for the regular pantry.
Street Team outreach.
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.

Lunch and showers.
Our showers & lunch 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 8:00-10:30am, and lunch is served from 11:00am-12:00pm.Â
