Meal Preparation & Service

Once a week on a weeknight, we provide our busy families with a full dinner service.  This is a great opportunity for groups, and there are two different ways to serve: Meal providers and kitchen crew. Meal providers either bring a full meal to our kitchen, or use our full commercial kitchen to cook a meal on-site. Kitchen crew assists with clean-up, prep work, and service. Meals are typically served once a week, 6:15 pm-7:00pm.

Duties include:

Cooking or catering a full, well-balanced meal

Service help, including washing dishes, mopping floors, serving food and drink to residents, clearing plates, and more.

Kitchen Area is age restricted, volunteers under 16 are limited to dining room duties.

Setup: 5:30pm / Cleanup: 7:00 pm
