Serving Meals

Save to Favorites

Amanda the Panda hosts Grief Support Groups four times a year. Each Support Group meets on Monday evenings for six weeks. Amanda the Panda provides a simple meal for the families who attend. This supper for our families gives parents/caregivers a reprieve and helps to eliminate at least one task they would've otherwise had to accomplish before arriving. It also provides a comforting, home-feeling to our families entering into grief services.

Volunteers are needed to help prepare, serve, and cleanup the kitchen each of the six Monday nights of Support Group. Volunteers and groups (3-4 people) can provide the food and prepare the meals, or they can prepare food that Amanda the Panda will provide for the evening. Volunteers would need to arrive early enough to prepare the meal for the evening, which is typically around 5:00-7:00pm.

The ideal volunteer should have the ability to help with light meal preparation, serve meals to 25-50 people, wash dishes/run a dishwasher, be personable, be friendly, and be reliable. Volunteers will need to fill out a volunteer profile and go through a background check.
