FEAST Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Do you accept court-ordered community service?

Anyone is welcome to volunteer with us! If there is verification or proof of community service hours, please let our Program Manager know.

Are minors allowed to volunteer?

Yes, minors are allowed with permission of their legal guardian. Please make sure to have your legal guardian sign the waiver prior to volunteering. 

Do you accept Corporate group volunteers?

Yes! We accept corporate groups. Our group size maximum is 10. If you’d like to bring additional people and/or are interested in hosting your company, please email programs@feastforall.org to get started.

Is there a donation ask for corporate group volunteers?

Donations are appreciated. Our donation ask is between $1k - 2k per group.

Are masks required to volunteer?

To help reduce the spread of COVID-19, FEAST requires volunteers to wear face masks during High pubic health risk periods. As of 1/1/2024, volunteers MUST wear a mask.

Health officials offer these tips to help protect yourself against the spread of COVID-19 and other respiratory viruses:

Stay home if you are sick or showing symptoms such as coughing, sneezing, sore throat or fever

Immediately test if you have symptoms or were exposed to COVID-19, especially before visiting those who are vulnerable or immunocompromised

Wash your hands often

Wear a well-fitted, high-quality mask to help protect against transmission in crowded indoor spaces

Learn more about the LADPH public health guidelines. 

What should I bring?

Wear comfortable close-toed shoes and clothing and bring water. Please wear a face covering. 

How many volunteers do you accept in a group?

We accept up to 10 volunteers per group. If there is more than 10, please send programs@feastforall.org an email. Sometimes we’ll have flexibility to increase the number of volunteers per group. 

Are there any additional volunteer opportunities with FEAST?

At this time, our Food Distribution is our primary volunteer opportunity that we offer. There are a few one-time volunteer opportunities that we have throughout the year. If interested in one-time volunteer opportunities, please subscribe to our newsletter.
