Pull Up a Chair & Lend a Hand
Join our volunteer crew, give fresh ingredients, or make a donation to help keep our table full.
Looking to make a difference and have a good time while doing it? Come join the fun by creating, packaging, serving, or delivering meals, cleaning up and organizing the kitchen.
We also decorate bags and put hearts on all our food containers if art is your interest. There is plenty to do and we need you. Many hands make for light work and that is fun!
