POTS' Community Dining Room feels more like a neighborhood cafe than a soup kitchen. As a volunteer at POTS, you will help with meal preparation and service. POTS' Community Dining Room is open every day and feeds an average of 425 guests per day.
We rely on volunteers in order to make our Dining Room a warm and welcoming environment for our guests. Volunteers are asked to sign up in advance and to do many of the tasks that they would do at a restaurant, with the exception of any cooking. Designed to resemble a caf, POTS Dining Room guests are greeted at the door by a host(ess), seated at small tables decorated with seasonal centerpieces and tablecloths, and their meals are served by volunteers. Working together, POTS staff & volunteers ensure that while they are with us, our guests are provided with a dignified environment and treated with respect.
