Help Serve Breakfast, Lunch, or Dinner to our Families!

Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: People Serving People

People Serving People is in large need and in search of dedicated volunteers to support our culinary team on an ongoing basis! For every shift, People Serving People serves an average of 150 - 200 meals to guests residing in our shelter. We depend on the support of our volunteers to support our staff, meet the need, and to provide quality service to the families we serve.

Volunteers work with People Serving People's culinary staff to serve freshly made breakfast, lunch, or dinner to our families. In addition, volunteers are expected to help clean our dining hall as families depart to maintain a clean, dignified space. Meal Service shifts have space for up to six people, and is a great opportunity to bring a few friends or family to participate.

Shifts happen three times a day at breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day of the week. Below are the current shift timeframes available to volunteers:

  • Breakfast: 7:30am - 9:30am
  • Lunch: 11:30am - 1:30pm
  • Dinner: 4:45pm - 7:00 pm

While each meal may not always take the full two hours, volunteers must be available for the entire shift time to assist our culinary team in cleaning our dining hall or other secondary tasks.

Volunteers must be 18+, or 13+ with a guardian or adult chaperone. We encourage parents or chaperones to assess each young person's ability to volunteer effectively on a case-by-case basis. Volunteers are expected to be on their feet but stationary for approx. 1.5hrs serving food on a service line to families. Volunteers should be comfortable interacting with strangers and being patient with different engagement and conversation styles.

If you are interested in this opportunity, or have any questions, please reach out to Nolan Isaacson at nisaacson@peopleservingpeople.org or 612-277-0246. We will guide you through next steps in getting registered and signed up for shifts.
