Bay Area charities in search of volunteer help after Christmas Christmas may be over, but the need for people in the giving spirit is as big as ever at many Bay Area charities.

The holidays are the season of giving, but the day after Christmas, SF Marin Food Bank and @stanthonysf.bsky.social really hope you’re still in the giving spirit. This is a time when they often see interest in volunteering dry up — even though the need is greater than ever: nbcbay.com/t6ERmYk
