1160 Kern Avenue, Sunnyvale, CA 408.738.4321 English GIVE Volunteer - Adult Individuals Individual Adults SCS relies on the amazing dedication of hundreds of volunteers to deliver food and other services to Sunnyvale residents in need assistance. Volunteers generally start out as part of our food distribution program and often grow into other volunteer duties over time based on needs and skills. At this time, SCS does not have any opportunities for court ordered volunteer hours. Food Distribution SHIFTS 7:30 - 11:00am 11:00am - 2:00pm 2:00 - 5:00pm Over 60 volunteers help to sort, pack, load and greet clients generally every Monday. We typically do have open shifts available for new volunteers. The ability to lift 35 lbs repeatedly is very helpful, although not required. You must be able to be on your feet and moving around for the entire work shift. One 15 minute break is provided. We especially need help on the early bird shift and can be flexible about exact time slots, as long as the volunteer can commit on an ongoing basis.The early bird shifts are fast paced and a great workout. Some of our early bird crew can only help for 2 hours and go to work after their volunteer shift at SCS. We also can accommodate schedules by offering every other week opportunities. Picking Fruit SCS partners with another nonprofit called Village Harvest to pick fruit trees in the backyards of Sunnyvale residents. The fruit is donated to SCS and distributed as part of our food distribution program. Our Village Harvest crew generally picks fruit every other Monday morning from 9 -12. Please contact Village Harvest to learn more Crafting If you like to create handicrafts, knit, crochet, or quilt, come join our Auxiliary which generally meets bi-monthly on Saturdays at 10am at SCS. Each year the Auxiliary hosts a fall Craft Fair with all proceeds benefiting Sunnyvale Community Services. Warehouse Assistants Almost every day of the week we can use additional help in our warehouse moving boxes, retrieving groceries from local retailers, cleaning, sorting and more. If you enjoy manual labor and can walk around for 3 hours and can lift at least 35 lbs repeatedly, please contact us. We do ask for an ongoing weekly commitment. Various times are available on a weekly basis.
