    Description

    Help Serve Lunch or Dinner to Those Less Fortunate in Chelsea

    In order to keep up with our other food-service obligations to those we serve, we actively seek assistance with kitchen assistance, light meal preparation, and service, followed by post-lunch/dinner breakdown and clean-up.

    This will occur at our 25th street kitchen, between 6th and 7th Avenues. Due to space and social distancing requirements, spots are limited. Available shifts are seven days per week as follows:

    • 11:45am to 2:15pm - two volunteers per shift needed
    • 4:45pm to 7:15pm - two volunteers per shift needed

    If you are interested in lending a hand with this effort, please reach out for more details.

    Please note: Any/all potential volunteers must complete a New Volunteer Registration form, which can be found on our website at www.brc.org/volunteer Once received, you will be sent an invitation to participate in an orientation via Zoom.
