Volunteers make this kitchen run!
COVID UPDATE:
Masks are voluntary at Community Kitchen. We will continue to monitor local Health Department guidelines and mandates, making changes to our policy as needed.
You can help prepare and serve free meals six days a week for in-house and carry-out patrons. No previous experience is needed just a willingness to help. There are two volunteer shifts daily Monday through Saturday.
- MEAL PREP SHIFT 11:30am-1:30pm (8 volunteers)
The prep shift from 11:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m. puts together the cold carry-out meals that we distribute at each location. They also put together lunches for after school programs and help with some food prep (making salads, chopping produce) for the evening meal served at each location. Some cleaning and washing dishes may be included. - MEAL SERVING SHIFT 3:30-6:30pm (7 volunteers)
This shift from 3:30-6:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday consists mainly of serving the evening meal 'cafeteria style' and doing some clean-up (sweeping mopping taking out trash) afterward.
MINIMUM AGE: Those age 14 and older may volunteer without an adult. Youth 10-13 may volunteer if accompanied by an adult.
HOW TO REGISTER FOR A SHIFT:
