    Description

    Serve Up Comfort: Host a Dinner at Kathy’s House

    Our guests often share how much they appreciate having a home-cooked meal. By cooking a meal, you are truly providing a break for families from eating out, going to a vending machine, or just skipping a meal. You will leave knowing you have truly made a difference.

    Details

    • Dinner is served at 5:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday.
    • Please allow time to clean up after cooking.
    • We ask volunteers to plan to prepare for 50-60 people.
    • We encourage healthy meals with fresh, organic ingredients whenever possible.
    • You may cook onsite using our equipment or cook off-site and bring in your meal.

    What to Bring

    • Please bring all of the ingredients to prepare your meal.
    • We have a fully equipped kitchen including pots, pans, utensils, plates, cups, serving dishes, ice, coffee, four microwaves, and four ranges. We also have food storage containers.
    • Feel free to bring a favorite pot to cook in and take back as soon as you are done.

    More Information

    • Please send your menu to Manager of Volunteer Services prior to your meal so we can post it. Your favorite recipes are always well received!
    • Labeling dishes is very helpful for guests who may have food allergies or sensitivities. If the meal contains nuts, please note this by the dish.
    • Bring a print-out of your recipes - guests often ask for them! We can make copies in the office.

    Everyone visiting or preparing meals must be healthy in order to protect guests who may be immune compromised. Group size is limited to no more than six individuals.
