Resolved to Volunteer in the New Year? Support These Bay Area Food Organizations | The New Year is often a time for food resolutions, like cooking at home more or eating less meat. You can also channel that energy into your community by volunteering your time and talents to support the good food movement. The Bay Area is filled with hard-working organizations that rely on volunteers to alleviate hunger, prevent food waste, and empower people to take their health into their own hands.
Whether you're getting your hands dirty in the soil, sharing cooking knowledge, or delivering meals to people in need, you can make a difference, gaining new skills, and make friends who also have a passion for good food as a volunteer. Here are a dozen Bay Area organizations that rely on volunteers to advance food justice and transform our food system for the better. |
