ORGANIZATION: Care For Friends

CFF Food Service

Care for Friends are currently looking to recruit a team leader for our Thursday food service, to cover periodically throughout 2018.

Every Monday, Thursday and Saturday morning, Care for Friends serves a healthy, delicious meal to up to 100 homeless people. We pride ourselves on serving high quality food, and to provide an enjoyable experience for both our guests and our volunteers.

The role of team leader takes charge of the food service on the day. We start preparing a hot meal at 9am, with a group of volunteers, and serve the food to our guests at 12pm, finishing at 1pm. This is a fun, safe environment, and we are funded by donors and grants, with no government assistance. The team leader will manage the volunteers on the day, of which there are usually up to ten.

The team leader must have previous experience of working in food service, and ideally of leading teams. You must be available to make a regular commitment on Thursdays periodically throughout 2018, and into Spring 2019, and ideally be food sanitation trained. For interested applicants, there will definitely be the opportunity to volunteer at Care for Friends food service, before they take on the responsibility of team leadership.

This is a rewarding role to work in, both volunteers and guests enjoy coming to food service at Care for Friends. Your role will make a positive impact on the local community, and help the good work of Care for Friends to continue.

Mission Statement

Care for Friends provides easy access to community, food and overall wellness for Chicago’s most vulnerable and under-served people, in an atmosphere of dignity and respect. Through its programs, Care for Friends successfully connects people with community resources to enable them to achieve a better quality of life.

Description

Our flagship program is "Food for Friends" - where we create a safe space for anyone requiring a meal to gather in community for a no-cost hot lunch served in sit-down, family style with dignity and respect.

Other services are available during this gathering time, including haircuts, a health clinic, clothes closet, and toiletries distribution. Additionally, representatives from our various partner organizations begin to make connections with our guests - establishing trusting relationships that will ultimately allow our guests to connect with the services they need to achieve a better quality of life.
