Volunteer at Project Open Hand

Join MAX in volunteering at Project Open Hand, a non-profit social services organization borne during the AIDS epidemic in the 1980s to prepare meals for those with AIDS suffering from malnutrition. The organization continues to serve people with HIV/AIDS and has expanded to feed seniors and people fighting cancer, heart disease, diabetes and many other serious illnesses.  For more information on Project Open Hand, go to: http://www.openhand.org/

Project Open Hand relies on volunteers to fulfill its mission. MAX volunteers will work together on tasks such as packaging and sorting bulk items into individual portions, culling produce, stocking perishable items, and assembling grocery bags for Project Open Hand clients.

The group size is limited to 15 people. To register for this event with MAX, go to: https://maxsf.org/event-5289365

Volunteers will complete the individual registration process later with Open Hand if they previously have not already filled out the form. Location is 730 Polk Street at Ellis Street.

After our shift, we can go for an optional lunch at the nearby Chao Pescao restaurant that is within walking distance. This casual restaurant offers comforting Latin American food with particular emphasis on the Cuban and Colombian home-cooking from the owner's childhood. Additional information for Chao Pescao can be found at: https://www.chaopescaosf.com/about/
