Why Volunteer With Us?

By joining our kitchen, you're not just preparing meals – you're strengthening our community, one plate at a time. Here's how your contribution makes a difference:

• You'll help create delicious, plant-based meals for all, regardless of their ability to pay.
• Your efforts support our mission to reduce food waste by working with local food systems.
• You'll be part of a welcoming space where community members from all walks of life come together.

 

We need your help! Our kitchen runs best with 6 volunteers per shift, but often we're operating with just our kitchen director and a few helpers. Whether you can volunteer once a month or make it a weekly habit, your time is invaluable to us. Regular volunteers are especially appreciated as they help us maintain consistent operations.
