ORGANIZATION
At Olga Neighborhood Wellness Services, we serve hot, sit-down lunches three days a week to anyone in need of food, rest, or community. These meals are a cornerstone of our hospitality, and volunteers like you help make them possible. Here are our current volunteer shift options:
Tuesday, 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM (Serving & Clean-Up Team): Greet guests, plate and serve meals, refresh drinks, and help clean up afterward by wiping tables, doing dishes, and resetting the space.
Thursday, 8:00 AM - 11:00 AM (Cook Team): Join our kitchen crew to help prep, cook, and plate meals. No experience necessary-just a willingness to learn and pitch in!
Thursday, 11:15 AM - 1:30 PM (Serving & Clean-Up Team): Serve meals, chat with guests, and help with post-lunch clean-up like packaging leftovers, washing dishes, and tidying up.
Sunday, 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM (Serving & Clean-Up Team): Help us close out the week with warmth and care-serve food, connect with guests, and assist with clean-up afterward.
Your time and support would make a real difference in our community, and we’d love to have you join us.

Mission Statement
At Olga Neighborhood Wellness Services, our mission is to cultivate a community of compassion and support, fostering holistic well-being for individuals facing challenges in their journey toward stability. Located in the Avenues West neighborhood, our essential services and supportive community nourish body, mind and spirit.
Description
At Olga Neighborhood Wellness Services (ONWS), we foster community through care, consistency, and connection. Every Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday, we host a free, sit-down lunch where neighbors gather for a warm meal, conversation, and a sense of belonging. It’s more than food - it’s community, shared with dignity.
We partner with organizations like Serenity Inns to support individuals in recovery and walk alongside those navigating tough times. In addition to meals, we offer emergency clothing and personal hygiene products to anyone in need, meeting immediate needs with compassion and respect.
Whether someone stops in hungry, in crisis, or just looking for kindness, ONWS is here - a place where everyone is welcome, supported, and valued.
