VOLUNTEER

Our volunteers are our lifeblood. You are the reason our guests feel welcomed, nurtured, and included. Please consider volunteering at our meal service. Our committed volunteers help serve meals to our senior diners. They also maintain connections with our senior diners and make the dining experience for them more welcoming and meaningful. Choose from dining room set up, client registration, hosting, or serving in either our South Palo Alto location at Stevenson House or our Downtown location at the First United Methodist Church. Being a volunteer is a great way to connect with others and give back to your community. If you would like to be one of our valued volunteers, please review our volunteer requirements and sign up here, or simply email us at lacomidavolunteer@gmail.com or call (650) 322-3742.

DINE WITH US

La Comida serves a warm delicious sit-down meal weekdays at two locations in Palo Alto. All seniors are welcome. For more information on our locations and hours, click here.

 

We are grateful for your generous, tax-deductible donations. They pay for kitchen staff, rent, supplies, and ingredients, allowing our staff and volunteers to serve tens of thousands of warm, healthy meals to our senior community each year. 59 percent of clients are over 75 years of age and 54 percent are low income. For many, the meal they get at La Comida is the only one in which they’ll get their recommended daily dietary allowance. Please give generously by clicking here. Alternatively, you may send a check made out to La Comida de California and send it to us at:

ENDORSE LA COMIDA

We rely on the relationships and trust we have built with our community leaders. Neighborhood leaders, clergy, public servants, and business managers that have made Santa Clara County their home can endorse La Comida simply by getting to know us and lending their name and reputation to help us raise awareness and further our cause. Visit us for lunch, volunteer for our organization, or reach out to our board members. We welcome the opportunity to tell you about La Comida and simply build connections.
