Based on the popularity of our prior events with Second Harvest of Silicon Valley (SHSV), we have arranged this event.  Register quickly, as the spaces for this event are likely to be booked quickly.

Special Registration Instructions: Interested members have to register individually with PMISV group reservation number GR-30313 at Second Harvest Food Bank website (Second Harvest Registration Link) -- Note -- Only 25 spaces are available, and spots are limited.  Please register early.  Registration is FREE. If registration is full, please check back closer to the event, as spots often open up when registered individuals have to cancel.

Event Description: This volunteering work is to help sort and box the fresh produce and healthy groceries that SHSV provides to neighbors in our community. Duties may include sorting and quality control, assembly line work, lifting boxes onto pallets, or unloading produce. Volunteer shifts include clean-up time as well. Please note these shifts are fast paced and active and may require lifting up to 25 pounds.

Second Harvest of Silicon Valley is fighting hunger by providing over 500,000 needy people per month in Silicon Valley through food recovery.  Food rescue, also called food recovery, is the practice of collecting fresh, edible food that would have otherwise gone to waste from restaurants, grocers, and other food establishments, and distributing it to local social service agencies.  Food rescue is extremely effective because it simultaneously gets food to those who need it most and reduces food waste, minimizing the amount of toxic emissions from food waste in landfills.
