    Description

    Prep Volunteer

    A Prep Volunteer assists in preparing our daily meal under the direction of a Head Chef. There are tasks for all skill levels in our kitchen! Some examples include: rolling silverware, monitoring items on the stove, chopping vegetables, preparing meat or protein, mixing cold salads, flavoring sauces, etc.

    Our Prep shift is held

    Monday-Friday: 3:30pm-5:30pm

    Saturday: 9:30am-11:15am

    Sunday: 3:30pm-5:30pm

    You must sign up for the Prep shift either by creating an account on our MyImpact site or, if you would like to volunteer as a group, by emailing FoodAtFirstV@Gmail.com for available shift dates. If you are not signed up for a shift, you will not be allowed in the kitchen.
