Make Meals for the Community with FareStart--Weekday Mornings

Join FareStart in making meals at our Community Meals Kitchen!

We believe everyone is entitled to fresh, healthy and nutritious food. We have over 30 years of history and expertise in preparing and delivering meals across the Greater Seattle area, producing 19 million meals for local nonprofits, shelters, respite centers, youth and adult daycare centers and schools. Volunteers help with a variety of tasks to help supplement the large amount of work that goes in to creating around 2,365 meals each day. No kitchen experience required! A great opportunity for hands-on volunteer work and team building. Food is provided!

We rely on the hard work of volunteers in order to effectively serve our community. If you schedule a volunteer shift and do not show up it means others are not able to sign up and we aren't able to make the meals our community depends on. Please unregister yourself as soon as possible if you are not able to attend so others may sign up.

Volunteer Duties: Volunteers will help prepare meals by completing basic preparation tasks. FareStart staff will assign tasks based on individual skill and comfort level.

• No cooking experience necessary!
• Ability to stand on hard surface for 3 hours
• Our insurance requires all volunteers to be at least 18 years old
