This summer, come bring and serve a meal to our Men's Shelter!

Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: Insight Housing

As part of this essential service a hot and nutritious meal is offered each evening for the men in the shelter. These meals are in large part provided by generous community groups and organizations that want to give back to their less fortunate neighbors.

Where: Veterans’ Memorial Building basement, 1931 Center Street, Berkeley, 94704
When: Approximately 5:00pm-8:00pm, 7 days/week.

Note: This is an opportunity for groups only.

For this volunteer opportunity groups purchase and bring food for the meal, prepare it in our fully equipped kitchen, serve the approximately 50 men staying in the shelter that night, and clean up afterwards. This generally happens between 5:00pm and 8:00pm, with the meal being served around 7:00pm. It’s perfect for about 5-8 people per group (more than 10 will not fit in the kitchen), and we highly encourage our volunteers to socialize with and get to know the men during the evening.

To sign up, you can contact us at 510-318-6633 or volunteers@bfhp.org
