- package food for clients,
- and serve food at our weekly Cafe Lunch.
Zaman Culinary Arts Kitchen - Hope for Humanity Center: 26091 Trowbridge St., Inkster, MI 48141
- Some familiarity with a kitchen is recommended, but no professional cooking experience is necessary.
- Volunteers will gain valuable skills in the kitchen while working with our certified chef. The food from the kitchen goes to some of the most vulnerable people in our communities: low-income families, single mothers, and immigrants/refugees.
- Zaman also offers cooking classes to low-income women to help them with job skills and provide experience in an industrial kitchen so they can better feed and support their families.
- Food from the kitchen is sometimes available for volunteers to eat.
- Zaman has a fully equipped industrial kitchen and will provide volunteers with gloves, hair nets, aprons, and all sanitation needs.
The kitchen is looking for volunteers: Monday - Friday, 9:00am - 4:00pm
