Come to Central California and Help Impoverished Nations
We are a non-profit organization that processes and ships food to approximately 100 poor nations. We need more volunteers to process the food. We are open most of the year, have a variety of jobs and are flexible regarding the length of your stay. We are located near Sequoia National Park---home of the largest trees on earth! We are also close to Yosemite National Park. The hospitality, food and accommodations are excellent. This is a great place to stay. For leisure, and on weekends, sometimes people plan trips to visit Sequoia or Yosemite. Therefore, many volunteers have visited a National Park while they volunteered with us.
Please contact me if you need further information.

I stayed just under two weeks and was made to feel very welcome from the start. I was based mainly in the soup plant, involved in the processing and packaging of the dried soup mix. A shared spirit in helping feed hungry people around the world makes this a special place. Its certainly a good opportunity to form new friendships.
