We are currently recruiting new volunteers to support re-opening our hot meal services at various sites throughout Kitsap County.

Community Dining Volunteers work in teams of two or more. They: Receive prepared foods from delivery driver and maintain food temperatures until meals served. Prepare the dining room area for participants by sanitizing, setting tables, making coffee, etc. Greet and check in reserved diners, share information, and set future reservations. Dish up food onto trays in approved portions and serve to participants promptly at 12:00PM Socialize and chat with senior diners. Clean up the dining room and kitchen after meal service ends. Successful volunteers: understand and follow Meals on Wheels Kitsap procedures and policies; respect the host site; provide a welcoming and respectful environment for our meal site diners; and ensure meal service and cleanup is completed by 1:00 PM.
