Trinity Cafe is not a soup kitchen. It is a non-denominational, not-for-profit restaurant. Guests are served in courses on tables decorated with table cloths, floral arrangements, silverware and dishes. Guests are greeted, seated and served a hot, nutritious meal prepared by a five-star chef.

Since 2001 Trinity Cafe has served more than 1.1 million meals to hungry men, women and children. For many of our guests, this is the only meal they will be able to receive in a restaurant type setting. For others it will be their only meal of the day.

32 volunteers are need each day to serve nearly 300 guests. You will be assigned a duty by the daily volunteer coordinator.

Tables are set for six guests and each staffed with two volunteers. One volunteer serves as the table host, sitting at the table and visiting with guests. The other volunteer delivers the food to the table.

You may volunteer one time weekly for about an hour and a half, monthly or occasionally. Individuals and groups are invited. Group sizes are limited.

You will find this a personally rewarding and fulfilling experience.
