**This is a group opportunity only - please only indicate interest if you have a group who would like to volunteer**

The Doorways provides lodging and support to thousands of families every year who need to be close to life-saving medical care in Richmond. With 117 rooms, we are one of the largest hospitality houses in the country and proudly operate entirely on donations. We are looking for volunteers who are willing to help us provide home cooked meals to families staying with us. Serving meals is more crucial to The Doorways and our guests now than ever before. As more families return to use our services, they are relying on your generosity to ensure they have a warm meal at the end of the night. We can't do it without you.

The safety of our guests, volunteers and staff remains our top priority. Our meal guidelines have been adapted to allow safe meal service.
