Volunteers Sought by Feeding San Diego for Annual Event

Feeding San Diego is calling on local residents to lend a hand as the organization gears up for its upcoming event this Tuesday. The group, which works tirelessly to reduce food waste and distribute surplus food to those in need, needs 150 volunteers to help make it happen.

The event, built around a recent food convention, aims to divert excess food into local hands, where it can be utilized by those struggling with hunger. This partnership between Feeding San Diego and other organizations is set to bring about tangible change, highlighting the organization's commitment to creating a more equitable food system.

In addition to this one-day event, Feeding San Diego is seeking volunteers on an ongoing basis to support its mission throughout the year. With over 12,500 individuals donating their time last fiscal year, the organization boasts a workforce equivalent in scale and dedication to that of 31 full-time employees.

The scale of Feeding San Diego's efforts was further underscored by its successful food rescue operations, which recovered an impressive 36.2 million pounds of surplus food from over 780 local food donors during the same period. These accomplishments demonstrate the significant impact that volunteer-driven initiatives can have on addressing hunger and reducing waste in communities.
 
I gotta say, sounds like a total scam to me... I mean, who needs 150 volunteers when you're basically just gonna end up in some crowded community center all day doing nothing? 🤯 And what's the real incentive here? "Oh, we're making a difference"? Give me a break. I'm sure it'll be some corporate sponsored event with free food and a PR stunt to boot...
 
🙌 I think it's so cool that Feeding San Diego is doing this event! Like, we should all be doing more to help reduce food waste 🍔🤯. It's not just about saving money or stuff, but also about people having access to good food when they need it most. 12,500 volunteers last year? That's amazing! 🙌 And the fact that they can recover so much surplus food is a big deal. I hope everyone who wants to help can sign up for this event and join the team 🎉. We should all try to live more sustainably and look out for each other, you know? 🤗
 
I'm totally stoked to hear about Feeding San Diego's annual event 🤩. Giving back to the community, especially when it comes to helping those struggling with food insecurity, is honestly the best kind of volunteer work. I mean, 36.2 million pounds of surplus food rescued? That's insane! The fact that they're not just one-day events but also seeking volunteers on an ongoing basis shows their commitment to making a real difference in San Diego. As someone who loves exploring the city, I'd love to check out this event and see how it all works. Plus, supporting organizations like Feeding San Diego is a great way for us as locals to give back to our community 🌟
 
Yaaas, let's give a shoutout to Feeding San Diego for doing such amazing work in their community! 🙌 They're really making a difference by diverting excess food into local hands, and I'm so down to help out 🤗. If you're looking for ways to get involved, this is an awesome opportunity to lend a hand and make some new connections. Plus, it's not just about volunteering once – they're always looking for people to support their mission throughout the year 💪. And let's be real, 36.2 million pounds of surplus food rescued? That's crazy! 🤯 So, if you can spare some time, let's get behind Feeding San Diego and help bring about some tangible change in our community 🌟.
 
🤝 I think it's awesome that Feeding San Diego is doing its part to reduce food waste and help those in need 🍴💚 150 volunteers is a pretty big ask, but like, if we all chipped in even a little bit we could make a HUGE difference 💪
 
I'm so sick of ppl just throwing food away when we got people struggling to get a meal. Feeding San Diego is doin somethin right by resuscitat'in all that excess grub & distributin' it 2 those who need it most 🤯! 12k5 volunteers last year? That's what I call dedication 💪. If u wanna make a difference, join 'em on Tuesday or become an ongoing volunteer - let's change the way we think about food in our community 🌟.
 
I'm loving how Feeding San Diego is making a real difference in our community 🤩! It's so awesome to see a bunch of volunteers come together to make a tangible change 🌟. I mean, 150 people lending a hand one day is just the tip of the iceberg - what they're really trying to do is create a system where everyone has access to food when they need it most 🍴.

And let's be real, 36 million pounds of surplus food recovered from local donors? That's some serious scale 💪! It's not surprising that their volunteer base is equivalent to having 31 full-time employees - these people are passionate about the cause and willing to put in the work to make it happen 💕.
 
I'M SO DOWN TO HELP OUT WITH FEEDING SAN DIEGO'S ANNUAL EVENT!!! 🤩 THEY'RE DOING SUCH AMAZING WORK REDUCING FOOD WASTE AND GETTING SURPLUS FOOD TO PEOPLE WHO NEED IT MOST! 150 VOLUNTEERS IS A LOT, BUT I THINK IT'S PRETTY COOL THAT THEY'RE HIRING FULL-TIME STAFF BASED ON THE NUMBER OF VOLUNTEERS THEY ALREADY HAVE - SAYS SOMETHING ABOUT HOW EFFECTIVE THEIR VOLUNTEER PROGRAM IS!!! 🙌
 
I'm not sure how much of a difference these events really make... I mean, 36.2 million pounds of food rescued is pretty cool, but what's the actual ROI? Are they actually feeding people or just redistributing existing surplus?

And what about the volunteers themselves? Are they getting paid or are they essentially just getting free time off work to sort through all that food? And how much does it really cost Feeding San Diego to run these events and programs, anyway?
 
OMG u guys!!! 🤩 Feeding San Diego is literally doing such amazing work & I'm low-key obsessed with them 😍 I mean, 36.2 MILLION pounds of surplus food rescued? THAT'S MIND-BLOWING 💥 And can we talk about how dedicated their volunteers are? 12,500+ individuals volunteering in a year? 🤯 That's like, so inspiring! I'm literally shipping all the love to Feeding San Diego 💌 Anyone need me, I'll be over here donating my time & resources to support them 💖
 
I'm so down for this 🤩! I mean, who wouldn't want to help out with a cause like this? Our school's club does something similar, where we organize food drives and stuff. But Feeding San Diego is on a whole different level 🙌! They're doing some serious work to reduce waste and make sure people have access to food. I wish our school could do more like that... just imagine if we had 150 volunteers from our entire student body, we could make a real difference too! 🤝
 
idk why they need so many volunteers lol but i guess its all about making a difference 🤔. Feeding San Diego is doing some amazing work, it's crazy to think they recover 36.2 million pounds of surplus food 📦. like, what even is that number?! it just goes to show how much impact one person can have when they're passionate about the cause 💖. and its not just about volunteering on tuesdays, they need people all year round to help with their mission 🤝. i'll def be looking into this organization more now
 
You know, think about it - we're seeing this massive effort to reduce food waste and distribute surplus food to those who need it most, but what's really being asked here is: where do you draw the line between charity and community responsibility? I mean, Feeding San Diego is doing some great work, no doubt, but are they just patching up a problem rather than addressing the root causes of hunger in our communities?

It makes me wonder, if we're relying on volunteers to make a difference, aren't we also perpetuating this idea that it's someone else's responsibility to fix our problems? We need to ask ourselves: what role should government be playing here? Should they be providing more resources and support for initiatives like Feeding San Diego? Or are we just shifting the burden from the state to individual citizens?

It's a complex issue, but one thing's for sure - this event is going to make a tangible difference in people's lives. But let's keep having that conversation about how we're addressing the systemic issues that lead to hunger in the first place 🤔
 
Man, I'm so down to lend a hand for Feeding San Diego's event this Tuesday 🙌🏼! It's crazy how much of an impact these volunteers make - 12,500 people donning aprons like they're pros last year is no joke 😂. And the fact that they rescued over 36 million pounds of food from going to waste? That's just mind-blowing 💥. As someone who's been around for a while, I've seen this org do amazing work in our community, and I'm stoked to be a part of it... or at least, to help out with the food sorting 🍴👍
 
I'm totally stoked about Feeding San Diego's upcoming event! 🙌 They're doing some amazing work, diverting tons of excess food to people who really need it. 36.2 million pounds is insane - I mean, that's a whole lotta food going to waste when we could be feeding those in need. As someone who's super passionate about giving back, I'm happy to see organizations like Feeding San Diego leading the way. Plus, it's great to know they're hiring 150 volunteers for this event - that's amazing! The more hands on deck, the better, right? 💪 Let's keep supporting these awesome folks and making a difference in our community. 🌟
 
I mean, can you believe how much of a difference one organization can make? Feeding San Diego is just doing its thing, saving tons of food from going to waste and feeding people who need it most. 36.2 million pounds of surplus food recovered, that's insane! And the best part is, it's all thanks to the tireless efforts of volunteers like us.

I'm not gonna lie, I was a bit skeptical at first when I heard about this event. Like, how many people are really willing to give up their day to help out? But then I thought about it some more and realized that it's exactly these kinds of initiatives that make a real difference in our community. Plus, who doesn't love the idea of saving food from going bad?

I'm definitely gonna sign up to volunteer, or maybe even offer my services to Feeding San Diego on a regular basis. We should all be supporting organizations like this one more often!
 
I'm like "yaaas" for this Feeding San Diego initiative 🤩, you know? I think it's so awesome how they're bringing together volunteers to make a difference in their community. I mean, 12,500 people donating their time last year is crazy impressive! And the fact that they're diverting excess food into local hands really speaks to me - it's like, we should all be helping each other out, you know? 🤝 The scale of what they've achieved with just one day of volunteering is mind-blowing. Like, 36.2 million pounds of surplus food rescued? That's no small feat! I'm definitely going to check if I can spare some time to lend a hand...
 
I'm not sure about this whole volunteering thing... I mean, isn't it just a fancy way of saying "we need more people to do our jobs for us"? Don't get me wrong, I love the idea of helping out those in need, but is 150 volunteers really enough? What's next, are they gonna start paying everyone minimum wage and calling it a day?

And what's with all these organizations popping up left and right? Feeding San Diego, food conventions... it just seems like a bunch of PR stunts to me. I mean, have you seen the lines at those food banks? They're not exactly overflowing with people waiting for a handout. And 36.2 million pounds of surplus food? That's just crazy talk! Where's all that food going? Is it really getting distributed or is it just getting shipped off to some warehouse and resold?

I'm just saying, I'd rather see the money being spent on actual solutions instead of PR campaigns and volunteer opportunities.
