✨ Happy New Year, everyone! 🎉 We’re beyond grateful for all the support and collaborations this past year. 🌱 As we step into the new year, we’re reflecting on our food-related environmental goals—big or small. Your actions for how you treat your waste at home is the #1 way you can make a difference. Whether it's buying more locally and in smaller amounts, repurposing leftovers, using a compost bin, or starting your own garden, every action counts! These small steps are what lead to real change. What’s one thing you’re doing this year to help the environment? 🌍💚 Drop your goals below! 👇#newyear #2025 #nonprofit #alameda #bayarea #foodrecovery #wastedfood ... See MoreSee Less

We’re looking for volunteers to assist with food pick-ups and deliveries every TUESDAY from 9:30am - 12:00pm (about 2 hours). Each Tuesday, you’ll help pick up food donations from the Whole Foods Market Temescal/Oakland and deliver them to the East Oakland Collective (EOC). Help us provide regular, nutritious food to those in need. It’s a meaningful way to give back to the community—and we’d love for you to be part of it! There’s groceries to take home and financial assistance is available as needed.If mornings aren’t ideal for you, there are other ways to help: Join our social media team! As a social media volunteer, you’ll share your creativity to design thoughtful posts—helping us raise awareness of the power of food to people and the planet.Whether you’re able to help with food deliveries or engage the community online, we’d love to have you on board! Interested? Reach out to us at info@foodshift.net or dm us to get started!If you are interested, please fill out the Volunteer Form, link in bio 🌿🪵🌞 #nonprofit #nourishingneighbors #ig #volunteer #volunteerwork #foodshift #bayarea #oakland #alameda #food ...

Food Shift
A big thank you to @minutemanpress_berkeley who came to the rescue by printing out our new design formatted by Food Shift volunteer Claire Chen-Carter. Retail businesses have been especially challenged after the pandemic, yet Fred Fassett, a long-time member of the Rotary Club who invited Food Shift to present long ago, continues to support us. He and his crew ensured that our intentional design was beautifully translated for each of our staff (and gave us a luggage tag made out of our business cards!), hand-delivered to our office so as not to take us away from our food recovery efforts.We look forward to presenting ourselves to our clients with these cards, that not only bear our names, but reflect our shared values of collaboration to build an inclusive and resilient food ecosystem for the people and the planet.Beautiful graphics produced by local artists: Colin Kimzey and Sophia Zaleski ...
