Every night of the year, we have a volunteer group provide and serve dinner to our newest residents, those in the Intake and Access Center(IAC). These residents have been here anywhere from 1 day to 2 months. This is a great opportunity for families (including children) and small groups to interact with our new residents and experience first-hand, the impact serving others has for the 20 - 50 residents (half are children) living here.
In order to respect and accommodate your different comfort levels with returning to in-person volunteering, on your dinner date, you can chose to provide and serve dinner in one of three ways:
1. In person while following the new safety precautions listed and attached
2. Driving through and dropping off dinner at the IAC
3. Sending a food delivery order to the IAC
Please let us know prior to your serve date, which way you will be serving.
NEW IAC DINNER POLICIES:
- All meals/food should be purchased, already prepared (ex. rotisserie chicken, pizza, frozen lasagna), or should be purchased from a licensed kitchen (restaurants) or should be put together on site (ex. making the salad). Unfortunately, we are unable to allow home cooked meals (see attachment for ideas).
- Before serving, Volunteers will be required to complete a temperature check at the IAC, as well as wear a mask and gloves while serving.
- Before serving at the IAC, Volunteers will sign an additional waiver related to COVID’19
- Dinner will be served in an outdoor area.
- Hand sanitizer will be readily available at both the volunteer check-in and serving
