South Sacramento Christian Center is still actively distributing food every Saturday and we're seeking volunteers to help us prepare groceries. If you are interested in helping in any of the areas listed below, please look at the task descriptions and choose from any of the dates and times that work best for you. Be sure to leave your contact information so someone can respond to your inquiry. Thank you and we look forward to seeing you soon! (January 01, 2025).

As a volunteer in the food distribution center, your duties on Fridays will include (1) assembling bags (or boxes) of groceries, (2) light lifting (up to 10 lbs), (3) cleanup (sweeping, cleaning/sanitizing frequently used areas), and recycling (cardboard boxes). You may be asked to assist in any of the areas mentioned during your shift, so flexibility is preferred. 

On Saturday morning, you may be asked to assist with: (1) controlling the flow of traffic in the drive-thru (2) putting groceries in people's cars for them when they pull up (3) making more grocery bags (or boxes), and (4) resupplying/runner (keeping the drive-thru stocked with inventory)

NEW: Got community service? Yes, we can help you with that! Whether you are a student needing to complete hours for high school or college or if it's a requirement from the County Sheriff's Office, and you meet our requirements, we may be able to help you. Please bring any/all paperwork needed when you volunteer. (Updated January 28, 2024)
