San Leandro Launches New Hub for Community Volunteers

APRIL 16, 2020

SAN LEANDRO, CA: Mayor Pauline Russo Cutter announced today that the City of San Leandro has launched a new online volunteer hub where community residents may register to serve as a volunteer to assist others in need. Currently, volunteer opportunities will be focused on local food banks or organizations dedicated to helping the community respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. The new hub is accessible by visiting: www.SLKindness.net.

 

Registration is simple and easy. Simply click on the “Sign Up” button that appears on the home screen and follow the prompts.

 

“I have heard from many San Leandro residents who are looking for ways to volunteer their time to help others impacted by the extremely challenging circumstances we are currently facing,” noted Mayor Cutter. “Many of our local non-profit organizations have also shared with me a high priority need for volunteers. That’s why I am thrilled to announce the launch of our Kindness Network website that will help connect volunteers with local organizations that need support. So I am calling on any residents who have available time on their hands and who are healthy enough to help others to please consider signing up.”

 

During the initial phases of the program, the new hub will focus on generating a list of interested volunteers that can be shared with local food banks or other non-profit organizations dedicated to providing meals or groceries to those in need. Over time, the online hub will be expanded to support additional services, including City Departments, non-profit organizations, and community-serving opportunities where volunteers are needed.

 

Any volunteers seeking to sign up will be required to practice strict social distancing and cleanliness standards to protect against the spread of the corona virus.
