ORGANIZATION: Volunteers of America, Utah

Consider supporting homeless youth in our community.
By preparing and serving a meal, you’re offering comfort, nourishment, and hope to young people facing difficult circumstances-and we’re so glad to have you with us.

This is more than a volunteer opportunity-it’s also a chance to learn. We invite you and your group to take time during your visit to discuss and better understand the realities of youth homelessness in Utah. We’re happy to provide resources or facilitate a short conversation to help deepen your awareness and impact.

You’ll be bringing a group of 3-10 people to provide a meal for approximately 40-50 youth. We’ll send you an email about a week before your meal with updated guest numbers and any food allergies.

Volunteers must be at least 16; anyone under 18 must be accompanied by an adult. You’re welcome to prepare the meal at home (following our guidelines) or in our kitchen-and your group will be responsible for cleaning up afterward.

To protect the privacy of those we serve, please do not take photos or videos of clients. You’re welcome to capture moments of your group in the kitchen-we're happy to help with that!

Whether you’re an experienced cook or simply eager to give back, thank you for being part of this meaningful effort to support and stand with youth in need.

Below, you will find links to our upcoming available meals. We hope to see you soon!
