Volunteers are Crucial
Volunteers are crucial to the meal program! They are needed to help set and clear tables, serve food, deliver meals to suites, and handle cash. Training is provided, and all volunteers receive a half-price meal on the day(s) they volunteer.
The time commitment varies with each job; many of them can be done at your own pace.
Please consider volunteering today!
