Our Soup Kitchen has many fun and meaningful volunteer opportunities!
We always need your help!
“Volunteers don’t necessarily have the time, they have the heart”
Come help us serve the most nutritious meals to our community! Our guests are served breakfast, lunch and a to go sandwich Monday – Saturday. Help us prep food, make sandwiches, serve food, wash dishes and make someone’s day! (it will probably end up being YOURS!)
Shifts are breakfast 8am-11am. Lunch 11am-2pm, or join us for the day, 8am-2pm. After you enroll, you can go to our calendar and pick your days and times. Come once or join us often!
Wear comfortable clothes and closed toe shoes. Hairnets are provided or wear your own cap. Short hair and long hair pulled back is fine. We provide you with aprons and food handling gloves. You are also welcome to enjoy a meal here.
More than 800 Families Every Month!
That’s how many families in our community need and get free groceries from our Amazing Grace food pantry.
It takes as many as 25 volunteers each day to manage deliveries, stock shelves, assist shoppers and register new guests. We also connect our food pantry guests to additional resources to get even more help if they need it.
Please call Brenda Reilly, Program Manager to find out available times and current volunteer opportunities at 860-347-3222, ext. 200.
