The Lake Merritt United Methodist Church (LMUMC) Food Pantry has been serving the Oakland community and Alameda County for over 35 years as a source of free food to individuals and families. The Food Pantry distributes fresh produce and nutritious shelf-stable food and protein. We continued the work of the food pantry without pause and returned to client-choice distribution.Volunteer Shifts:
Distribution Set Up: Friday before distribution at 10:00 -11:00 am.
A small team of volunteers is needed to assist in setting up stations for food distribution the next day. The workspace allows for good distancing and frequent hand washing.
Food Distribution: Saturdays 8:00-10:30 am
4th Saturday of Each Month (holiday months subject to change)
On Saturdays, volunteers staff 12 stations assisting with client check-in and registration, set up, food distribution, line support, and clean up. Additional projects such as preparing hygiene kits and preparing food for Lake Lunches may also take place. The workspace allows for good physical distancing in most spaces and frequent hand washing.
Language Interpreters: Language interpreters are needed in the primary languages of the food pantry visitors including Cantonese, Mandarin, and Vietnamese.
Please indicate if you are volunteering with a group or if you are able to serve as a language interpreter. Email [email protected] for more information about groups and language interpreters.
