Join MAX in volunteering at Project Open Hand, a non-profit social services organization born during the AIDS epidemic in the 1980s to prepare meals for those with AIDS suffering from malnutrition. The organization continues to serve people with HIV/AIDS, and has expanded to feed seniors and people fighting cancer, heart disease, diabetes and many other serious illnesses.
Location is 730 Polk Street at Ellis Street. For more information on Project Open Hand, go to: http://www.openhand.org/
Project Open Hand relies on volunteers to fulfill its mission. MAX volunteers will work together on tasks such as packaging and sorting bulk items into individual portions, culling produce, stocking perishable items, and assembling grocery bags for Project Open Hand clients. Tasks vary depending on the needs of the day.
Recommended dress includes comfortable closed-toed shoes, shirts with short or long sleeves and full-length pants. Please do not wear jewelry. Project Open Hand suggests wearing clothes that you don’t mind getting messy as you’ll be working with food. Volunteers need to wear hairnets and beard nets (provided on- site) if you have facial hair.
The group size is limited to approximately 15 people. Register on this page to register for this event with MAX. Volunteers need to complete the individual registration process later with Open Hand.
After our shift ends, we can go for a optional meal or snack nearby.
