Interested in helping with our response to COVID-19? The best way to stay get involved as we respond to the emerging needs of our community during the COVID-19 is to create an account and “Opt-In” to our emails. As new volunteer opportunities and community distributions are added, we will email you and let you know it is time to sign-up and get involved. Currently, we are most in need of Emergency Response Pre-Pack assistance and Emergency Delivery Drivers in both North and South County.

Volunteer in South County (Santa Barbara, Goleta, Carpinteria)

Senior Home Grocery Delivery

As Shelter-in-Place orders continue, our needs for volunteers to deliver food to housebound seniors has continued to grow. Delivery drivers will drive their own cars, and delivery is no-contact; the groceries are left on the front door step. One-time only commitment required.

To sign up, select the region you’d like volunteer in, create an account, and sign up for the shifts! We ask that you please register in advance of each event to ensure that we have the appropriate number of volunteers. If you have any questions please contact Kelli Padilla.

Face Masks

We need volunteers who are able and willing to make face masks at home and drop them off at our warehouse locations. No sign-up necessary! Masks should meet CDC requirements and be in a plastic bag when dropped off.

Drop off

Fridays between 10am-11:30am at either

- 4554 Hollister Ave, Santa Barbara
- 490 W. Foster Rd, Santa Maria

Once your account is created, you will receive updates about volunteer needs and how to sign up. Thank you for your help – we couldn’t do it without you!
