I’ve been here a few times as a person who has donated, and I consider myself very fortunate to be able to do so.
I’ve brought children’s books that are in excellent used condition. I’ve also donated new sanitary items, canned food, toiletries (they like trial sizes so I keep an eye out for those) and the like.
I see brand name clearance items at drug stores, at grocery stores, and bulk online; then I buy them, stockpile them and donate here.
Donating is quick and easy. There’s a list online of what they need, or see my pics for more information.
Hey, it could be any of us… there’s a fine line, friends. The staff are so warm and kind and I feel like everyone’s so involved and hardworking and that they really do care. Its wonderful. Located near Home Depot in a warehouse location off of Kifer and Wolfe… they have a huge Christmas food and toy drive and donating is quite easy online or at any Sunnyvale Fire Station.

I enjoyed volunteering here for the very first time today! A majority of the volunteers have been coming here for years and know exactly how to work fast and efficiently by promoting a positive atmosphere and teamwork. Even if I was one of the youngest volunteers, they still made me feel welcome here and I was able to meet quite a bit of people today. It was a very easy location to find, and I was able to find street parking right in front of their building on San Gabriel Avenue. The staff that organizes the volunteer programs are very dedicated and friendly as well, making volunteers feel at ease. This morning, we pretty much filled up bags with vegetables for families who are qualified for Food Stamps. In order to deliver in the fastest and most efficient way possible, the volunteers create an assembly line, passing down the bag as each individual places a certain vegetable/​fruit in the bag. Eventually, the bags get passed along table after table until they end up at the outside tables surrounded by many other similar bags. From there, there are other volunteers navigating the traffic that comes through, which are the families who drive in their cars to pick up their food. The volunteers have cars park one at a time, load their cars with the groceries, and allow them to leave the parking lot in a designated and organized fashion. Overall, everything runs smoothly by both the volunteers and management, making it a great place and an enjoyable experience to meet new people as you’re helping the community.

How do you give these people any stars? Funny, a family of illegal immigrants with one valid SSN, up to six people in a family only needs one SSN to get almost 1000 dollars in food stamps. Meanwhile, they deny people one time rent assistance after wasting hours of their time, even if you have low rent, by telling you that you have other options when there are no other options. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME. They changed their reasons as to why they couldn’t help several times once denied.
If any sponsors read this, feel free to message me to get the details of how your money is «helping» the community. They would rather let people get kicked out than help, even when you have low rent. The case worker had everything set after hours of paperwork, all ready to be approved, she said it was an easy case, then denied, denied, denied, by several people above her. She was in shock, as were we. I could go on but if anyone is interested in the situation they can PM me.
If you have something bad happen to you, they don’t care. They will just blame you somehow and even when you fit the criteria for them helping, they will just deny you based on their personal decisions rather than the criteria they have set on paper. So forget them.
It speaks volumes that there is never a line there or another person, for a place that ‘helps’ the community…

This place is fantastic. They are such an asset to the Sunnyvale Community. They have so many resources and programs. You should stop by if you have any questions for any kind of assistance, you’ll be amazed to find out how much they really help. The caseworkers are sweet hearts, a special thanks to Martha, from Lluvi and I:)

I volunteered her for two days last week. I was extremely impressed by the facility and the professionalism of the staff. They go out of their way to help their clients by treating them with dignity. It’s also located in a very safe neighborhood.
