AU Food Distribution -- Volunteers Needed!
2535 W Temple St, Los Angeles, CA, US## Details
Atheists United, California's largest grassroots atheist nonprofit, hosts a food distribution in Los Angeles every month at our office building. We've partnered with the LA Food Bank and Sunday Assembly Los Angeles to give out over 4,000lbs of food each event.
We need volunteers to help us unload, sort, assemble, and give away grocery kits from 12pm - 5pm.
From 12pm - 3:30 we unload the truck, sort the food, and build the grocery kits. From 3:30pm - 5pm volunteers will help hand food out directly to those in need in the neighborhood. From 5pm - 6pm we'll clean up and celebrate everything we accomplished together at a local restaurant.
Free snacks and drinks provided for all volunteers.
If you'd like to be a super volunteer, contact us about showing up at 10am to help with early setup!
Food: Snacks will be provided free for volunteers. We also usually buy lunch for everyone. After the event volunteers usually gather at a local restaurant to debrief.
Safety: Safety vests, gloves, and masks are available for all volunteers. Volunteers are expected to be fully vaccinated.
Parking: Free parking available for volunteers in our parking lot off Rampart Blvd.
Dress Code: Safety requirements include: no open-toe/open-heel shoes or high heels. We recommend casual attire (jeans, t-shirt, light sweater, & tennis shoes). Please dress for the weather and wear sunscreen as needed.

Where curiosity is celebrated
At Atheists United, we understand better than anyone the importance of creating a safe, secular space for people to explore their ideas, identities, and values. Youth should be celebrated, not shamed, for asking honest questions.
According the US Secular Survey:
- 15% lower rate of depression among youth active in a local secular community
- More than a third of secular youth had negative experiences with family due to their nonreligious identity
- One third of secular youth had negative experience in education due to their nonreligious identity
- Nearly 50% of young people are religiously unaffiliated
