CORPORATE VOLUNTEERING
There’s no easier or more effective way for your business to make a difference in the lives of San Franciscans in need than by helping at St. Anthony’s.
St. Anthony’s is taking precautions to mitigate the risk of COVID-19. All volunteers are required to wear masks at all times, and all of our volunteer shifts allow for social distancing. Please see our shift calendar for current opportunities. We understand our Dining Room shifts may not be the best fit for everyone, and more volunteer opportunities are coming soon! To receive updates about new shifts as they are available, please fill out this form.
St. Anthony’s provides an opportunity for your employees to get involved and connect with their community.
We can accommodate groups large and small. Each benefits from a brief orientation & training session before being set to work. These can be tailored to the specific needs of your business and can include remarks by speakers from your organization.
Our corporate group volunteer coordinator will schedule your group in our Free Clothing Program, Dining Room or Farmers Market.
For more information or to schedule your group, please contact our corporate volunteer coordinator Jaclyn Epter at 415-592-2846 or groupvolunteer@stanthonysf.org.
The Free Clothing Program serves approximately 150 guests a day, with over 10,000 visits annually. It is our goal to distribute the highest quality of clothing possible to ensure that our guests have a positive and dignified shopping experience.

St. Anthony’s Farmers Market is a wonderful direct service event and collaboration with the SF Food Bank. The service provides vital food security for low-income senior citizens in the neighborhood. Every Thursday afternoon, the Dining Room becomes a mini farmers market, where folks receive healthy, fresh groceries for the week!
