🌳 Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano 

🤝 Give Back to Your Community

Join PMI San Francisco Bay Area for a rewarding morning of service at the Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano. Together, we'll help sort and package food donations that support thousands of individuals and families throughout our local communities.

Whether you're looking to make a difference, earn volunteer PDUs, or connect with fellow PMI members while giving back, this is a meaningful opportunity to create a positive impact.

❤️ Why Volunteer

Every box packed and every donation sorted helps provide nutritious food to neighbors facing food insecurity.

• Work alongside fellow PMI members and community volunteers
