    Description

    Food services volunteer

    In this role, volunteers coordinate with our kitchen staff to provide nutritious meals to our patients during breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Typical responsibilities include setting up the dining room for meal service, preparing food, meal prep, serving plates, washing dishes, and cleaning up the dining room after service. This role provides the opportunity to work closely with staff and get to know our patients. Volunteers in this role are welcome to enjoy a meal with patients. Currently, our biggest opportunities to serve are weekday breakfasts and lunches, but we welcome volunteers on weekday evenings and weekends as well.

    If you are interested in this opportunity, please create an account here: christhouse.volunteerhub.com. Our Volunteer Manager will reach out shortly to schedule an orientation. Once you have attended an orientation, your account will be activated and you will be able to sign up for shifts.

    You can also email our Volunteer Manager at volunteers@christhouse.org for additional information.
