Current Projects
Second Harvest of Silicon Valley has released a few more food distribution opportunities at the San Jose Buddhist Church Betsuin site (Betsuin Annex). The shifts occur on the first and third Thursdays of the month and lasts from 7:30 AM to 11:30 AM, but usually ends earlier. The job involves passing out food to the registered individuals as they pass by with their carts. Click the link below to register for the date that you are interested in joining the activity. Please note that you do not need to be a Temple member or a Dana club member to participate in these activities although we encourage you to be a member.
