The Food Basket provides food and nutritional supplements to individuals and families with HIV/AIDS. Volunteers are needed to help pack and deliver food to homebound residents, as well as to assist the more mobile clients who come to the center to pick up their food.

As a Food Basket volunteer, you will be providing a supplemental food service to individuals and families living with HIV/AIDS. The Food Basket operates once a month, with the following positions available:

• Food Packer: Pack food on Friday night from 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm at a warehouse located in San Jose.
• Delivery: Deliver food on Saturday morning, from 8:30 am to 12:00 pm. You will be given the name and address of the clients on your route, as well as a map to their home. You may deliver food individually, in pairs, or in groups.
• Pick Up: Volunteer at the warehouse during the week following the Saturday of delivery, assisting clients who pick up their own food. The available shifts are Monday-Friday, 9:30 am-12:00 pm and 2:00 pm-4:30 pm.

Please note that to be a driver for The Food Basket, you must be at least 18 years old, have a valid license and auto insurance, and complete a background check. There is also an ongoing commitment required for Saturday drivers.
