San Francisco Soup Kitchen Loses Volunteers Due To BART Strike, Issues Call For Help

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) -- A San Francisco soup kitchen is scrambling to cover volunteer shifts this weekend and into next week due to the ongoing BART strike.

St. Anthony's Dining Room, which serves around 3,000 meals a day, said that some school groups that scheduled their volunteer shifts months ago will be unable to attend because they rely on BART to transport their students.

Anyone in San Francisco willing to volunteer in the next few days for shifts running from 9:45 a.m. to 1:45 p.m. are being asked to sign up at www.stanthonysf.org/volunteer.
