We thank you for your understanding and look forward to your support as we work together to help homeless neighbors in our community.

What should my group expect when volunteering in the kitchen for the first time?
First-time groups will receive a campus tour and a staff member from our Volunteer Team will escort you to the kitchen. While in the kitchen, our chefs will instruct your group and assign tasks. Kitchen volunteers may help with chopping vegetables, prepping food, serving food, organizing donations, deep cleaning, preparing sack lunches, or other tasks as needed.
When we show someone new around, we hear four words over and over again – "I had no idea". We want to make it possible for everyone to experience what's happening at your Mission.
Every dollar you donate will be matched,
doubling the impact you have
on homeless neighbors in your community!
Help us reach our goal by September 30!
