Every Tuesday, LA Community Fridges meet up at an LA location (meeting location may change weekly - you will be notified in advance) with a large amount of produce donated from Food Forward. Volunteers can help organize/bag the produce and/or help distribute it to community fridges. It's a fun way to meet and mingle with other volunteers in LA while also ensuring that LA Community Fridges keep their fridges stocked with fresh and healthy food for everyone's neighbors!

The Lucky Duck Food and Water Initiative has distributed over 1.4 million meals to San Diego’s unsheltered neighbors since May 2020. Volunteers help pack, sort, and load food and water for homeless outreach teams to distribute throughout San Diego County. Volunteers also sort and distribute items like face shields, masks, hygiene kits, EMPWR Coats, and clothing. Volunteers are critical to making the program happen, so please consider signing up! Volunteer bagging shifts take place every Tuesday and Thursday from 12:00-3:00pm at the San Diego Rescue Mission Warehouse (212 East 26th Street, National City, CA 91950). Note: though it is most helpful if you can volunteer for 3 hours, you do not need to sign up for all 3 hours, you can volunteer in 1-hour increments. Sign up to volunteer via website link or email Will Shea at will@luckyduckfoundation.org with questions. Visit: https://www.luckyduckfoundation.org/volunteer/
