CITY HOPE COMMUNITY CENTER
City Hope is committed to the ongoing work of creating connection and care for our most marginalized neighbors of the Tenderloin while addressing food insecurity, and we do this work through the commitment of our volunteers and donors.
All our meal programs are intentionally designed to be a dignifying experience for our community here in the Tenderloin so we pride ourselves in providing a restaurant-style meal, where we'll seat our guests, say their names, and give them the dignity of choice with our menus.
MONDAY DINNER & GAME NIGHT
On Monday nights, we host the most fun game nights while serving a delicious dinner meal to our guests. We alternate through Karaoke, Bingo, and Trivia-themed dinners.

We deeply value all volunteers of all ages and welcome minors above the age of 9 to serve alongside us.

-
Between 9 and 12 years old - They will need a supervising adult volunteer serving alongside them (equaling 1 volunteer)
