Volunteer @ Our Food Distribution

2535 W Temple StLos AngelesUnited States

On the third Friday of each month, Atheist United organizes a food distribution in partnership with the LA Food Bank and Sunday Assembly outside our offices.

We need 15-25 volunteers to help us assemble, sort, organize, and pack over 3,000 lbs of donated food for those in need. We begin setting up right at 12pm (noon) and work straight till our last food package is handed out, usually around 5pm.

As atheists, we rise by lifting others. Help us put our values into action. Join us!

Take Action!
Here's a useful planning guide and below are some ideas for actions you can take with a group, your family and friends, or as an individual. All actions help with needed change.

Organize Supply Drives And Distributions
Providing food and basic needs to unhoused and food insecure people is a direct way to have a positive impact on their health and well-being. Before inviting people to contribute, find out from the beneficiaries about their urgent needs so you collect the most useful items. Shelters are often asking for essentials like toilet paper, soap, warmth items, and menstrual hygiene products. Search for a shelter or Feeding America food bank in your area. (Supply Drive Guide link coming soon).

Build A Free Little Library Or Pantry
Free little libraries and pantries provide access to essential resources throughout the community. Little libraries help lower barriers to reading and also to books celebrating diverse voices. Little pantries are an easy way for neighbors to help neighbors by providing free food and hygiene supplies. (Free Little Library or Pantry Guide link coming soon). Also check out the Little Free Pantry website and the Little Free Library website for more resources.

Deliver Meals For Vulnerable Neighbors
Donate to or volunteer with Meals on Wheels America or with a local mutual aid group to get nutrition to people who need it.

Start A Community Garden
Community gardens help green your community, restore native plants, and produce can be donated to help address food insecurity. Our Community Garden Guide will help you get started.

Craft For Good
Crafters can support people by making needed items and donating them directly or through local shelters, hospitals, senior centers, etc. Unhoused people can use sleeping mats and reusable bags any time of year. Shelters and giveaways often accept warm weather gear all year long to be prepared when the cold weather hits. See our Craft for Good Guide that includes craft ideas.

Create A Mutual Aid Group
Start a neighborhood/organizational mutual aid shared Google Doc, social media group page, or Google Form for people to share their needs and how they can help.

Fundraise For A Shelter, Food Bank, Or Other Organization
Nonprofits across the country could use your donations to help them fill the holes that restricted and in-kind donations leave. Find fun ways to fundraise for your local nonprofit. (Fundraising Guide link coming soon) Search for a local shelter or Feeding America food bank.
