FOOD: Lucky Duck Meals for the Unsheltered Homeless Program in San Diego

The Lucky Duck Food and Water Initiative has distributed over 2 million meals to San Diego's unsheltered neighbors since May 2020. This project is vital to getting food and water to the unhoused on the streets of San Diego County and volunteers are critical to making it happen.

Volunteers help pack, sort, and load food and water for homeless outreach teams to distribute throughout San Diego County.

Opportunity Requirements & Important Notes

Attire: Closed-toe shoes are required. This opportunity takes place indoors. Always check the weather forecast, but know that it does get hot at the distribution site, especially given the physical nature of the work.

Physical Requirements: Volunteers will be lifting bags that weigh up to 35 pounds and standing for the duration of the shift. Poor lifting form will lead to injury and pain. You should only bend with your knees and hips, keep your back straight, and keep your shoulders back. Slowly lift by straightening your hips and knees (not your back). Hold the bag as close to your body as possible. Set the bag down by bending your knees and hips only. This project is able to make accommodations for individuals with physical limitations such as providing a chair to sit in while working the assembly line. Unfortunately, the space where this project takes place is not wheelchair accessible.

Waiver: Lucky Duck Foundation requires a waiver for minors.
