    Description

    The Salvation Army of Summit County is looking for friendly, welcoming volunteers to greet our guests as they arrive for our daily hot meal program.

    As a Meal Greeter & Hospitality Assistant, you'll help create a warm, positive experience for our community members by welcoming guests, assisting with simple check-in information used for meal tracking and grant reporting, and helping with light cleanup after lunch.

    Volunteer Duties:

    • Welcome and greet guests as they arrive for lunch
    • Assist with collecting basic demographic information for meal tracking and grant reporting
    • Help clean and sanitize tables after the meal
    • Assist with putting away tables and chairs when lunch concludes (if possible)

    Schedule:

    📅 Monday–Friday

    🕙 10:45 AM – 12:15 PM

    This is a short volunteer commitment, and we're happy to work around your schedule. Volunteer one day a week or several—whatever works best for you!
