Project Open Hand is a partnership of volunteers, donors, and staff working to provide vital nourishment to people living with HIV/AIDS, seniors, and homebound individuals living with serious illness. They serve over 8,000 clients with a multitude of services that include meal delivery and pick up, weekly bags of groceries and hot lunches at senior sites.

Volunteer Duties and Shift Lengths:

As an essential services provider and public health partner, Project Open Hand continues to operate during this medical crisis and we need you more than ever to help serve the community. Volunteer tasks can include assembling and labeling meals, packaging frozen meals, sorting produce, and packaging dried and frozen foods.

Food Safety:

It is extremely important to maintain a high standard of cleanliness when we handle food.

Dress appropriately in close-toed shoes, shirts with sleeves (no tank tops), pants that cover the full leg, and that you don't mind getting dirty.

Suit up! Take an apron, hairnet, and gloves near the prep sink.

Wash your hands with soap and warm water and replace your gloves every time you use the restroom, shake someone's hand, or switch from food preparation to cleaning.

If you are sick or not feeling well, STAY HOME!
