Feeding San Diego Resources
Feeding San Diego understands how tough it can be to find volunteers at times. Through the Partner Volunteer Management Program (PVMP), Feeding San Diego will provide its community partners with licensing to the Golden Volunteer Management Software to support the recruitment and retention of volunteers. Golden is a great platform to recruit skills-based volunteers for opportunities such as office volunteers, food rescue drivers, and any other skills needed to support or expand capacity at your agency. The application process does not take long, and once you are approved, you will be able to post your volunteer shifts on our Golden server to hopefully find more volunteers! Please note that this does not guarantee volunteers, but it is a resource for more people to find your agency and assist.
