Opportunity Details
Free Food Market (Rose)
The Free Food Market Program's primary goal is to provide fresh fruit and veggies to people in need. This volunteer opportunity is ideal for anyone interested in public health, patient and community interaction, and community outreach.
Why: As part of our effort to provide comprehensive care, we also do what we can to address social needs that impact health. Through our Free Food Market Program, we provide families with fresh fruits and vegetables. With the help of volunteers, we are able to sort and package over 10,000 pounds of food to provide a COVID-19 safe hand-off to patients and community members in need. This role offers direct patient and community interaction.
Who: Venice Family Clinic's mission is to provide quality primary health care to people in need. Thanks to the help of our robust volunteer program, the Clinic is able to provide services to over 120,000 people with compassion, dignity, and respect. Our service area spans from the Santa Monica Mountains through the South Bay.
