Pet Food Bank Delivery Volunteers Urgently Needed Save To Favorites
Recruiting Organization: Shanti Project of San Francisco
ABOUT PETS ARE WONDERFUL SUPPORT FOOD BANK & BECOMING A VOLUNTEER:
The PAWS Pet Food Bank is the very first service provided by the PAWS program of Shanti Project and has been in operation since 1987.
The Food Bank provides PAWS clients with a supplemental allotment of pet food, litter and a variety of pet supplies every month. This basic but essential service can often mean the difference between our clients meeting their own nutritional needs and sacrificing their needs to feed their animal companions, or being able to keep their pets in their lives at all.
Many of our clients are unable to come to the Pet Food Bank due to their disability. We rely on the generosity and commitment of volunteers to deliver food and supplies to all of our homebound clients. Pet Food Bank volunteers are urgently needed during this period of the pandemic to ensure our community members and their pets receive these crucial supplies. Thats where you come in!
VOLUNTEER DUTIES:
- Deliver bags of pet food/supplies to 8-10 homebound clients in SF neighborhoods
- Delivery team consists of two people – you must choose your own rider anyone you feel comfortable with during COVID
- On the day of your shift, you will pick up the delivery routes and bags from the PAWS office, and deliver items to all the clients in that route
- Client address and contact information will be provided in each delivery route
- Shifts take around 2-3 hours to complete
The Food We Serve Is Tangible Love Shared Across Barriers Of Language Age And Culture
Every Thursday, we partner with our neighbors and the SF-Marin Food Bank to serve the Tenderloin by hosting Food Pantry. We’ve served more than 400 tons of food to our neighbors. Distributing food is a simple but powerful way to share God’s love.
We need your help! Volunteer with us on Thursdays!
Starting at 12 pm we pack up food, this is a low-contact opportunity to serve during the shelter-in orders. This shift ends at 1:30 pm, there is an opportunity to stay until 4 pm to help with the delivery and distribution of food. Because of contact with seniors you must not have been exposed to corona virus and not be at risk of exposure, nor show any symptoms. To sign up to volunteer, please contact us by be sure to indicate what date and time slot you are interested in serving.
Our Mission & Core Values
We collectively serve our community by procuring and distributing culturally-appropriate and nutritious food to ensure the well-being of families and individuals. We are motivated by love, respect, and a desire to provide dignity to our Latino people who are experiencing hunger and are in need of food.

Pelosi Remarks At Ribbon
San Francisco Speaker Nancy Pelosi joined the San Francisco-Marin Food Bank for a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the opening of its newly expanded warehouse and welcome center. Below are the Speakers remarks:
Speaker Pelosi. Thank you very much, Tanis, for your generous introduction. But more importantly for your very important statement of values about food and caring and generosity of spirit, and good ideas to get it done. I join you in extending honors granted to those you acknowledged, including everyone in this room. You’re here because you care. You’re here because you care. And Tanis and Jonathan have given us a path to make sure that we can demonstrate that care and that concern.
Well I guess I can speak for every person here when I say it’s a pleasure to be back here in the San Francisco-Marin Food Bank. A beautiful, beautiful facility, and I’ll see more of what’s additional now.
And Tanis, thank you. Tanis talked about the first time in fifty years, a food conference at the White House. Tanis was our regional representative to that food conference. And she said she was very pleased with it. I’ll report that back to the President.
So this is really important work. Its as fundamental as it can be to feed the hungry, even thats your passage to heaven. When I was hungry, you fed me. He also said, When I was hungry, you didn’t feed me. You go over there, you go over there. People keep forgetting the second part.
