Possible Volunteering Opportunities
KITCHEN PREP & PACKAGING
We need your help prepping fruits, veggies, meats, and other tasks around the kitchen! With the mass amounts of meals being prepared daily, we need as many hands on deck as we can get to help ensure we continue to meet the needs in our community!
Once meals are cooked and ready to go we need help packing the meals up so they can be sent out!
