HOW IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE
Here at Community Servings we believe in the power of food to heal and, most importantly, to bring hope to our clients who are dealing with critical or chronic illnesses. You will be preparing and packaging the food in our industrial kitchen which will then go out and be delivered to our clients. You will be directly helping those without access to healthy food, and who are too sick to go to the store or make food for their families.
DESCRIPTION
If you like working in a fast-paced environment, working in a kitchen with food and great people, and you have a group of friends/family members to help you, then this opportunity is for you! Volunteers need to be at least 13 years old for this activity. Volunteers will work in the kitchen to prepare and package our meals that will be delivered to our clients in the community. We prepare and package over 2500 meals per day and rely heavily on volunteer help to make it happen.
ITEMS NEEDED
1. Shoes that completely cover and protect your feet (sneakers and socks recommended)
2. Long pants without rips or tears
