    Description

    As a Community Soup Kitchen Volunteer, you are the heart of our meal service operations. You will help provide nutritious meals to individuals and families experiencing food insecurity in Broward County. Your role isn't just about serving food; it’s about providing a warm, dignified, and welcoming environment for every guest who walks through our doors.

    Key Responsibilities

    • Meal Preparation: Assist the kitchen staff with basic food prep (preparing meals, assembling sandwiches, or plating desserts).
    • Dining Service: Serve hot meals to children, families and individuals staying at our shelter, as well as from the outside community.
    • Dining Area Maintenance: Help keep the dining room clean and inviting by wiping down tables, refilling condiment stations, and clearing trays.
    • Clean-up: Support the "behind-the-scenes" team with dishwashing, sweeping, and ensuring the kitchen meets health and safety standards after service.

    Volunteers are needed 365 days a year 3:00PM - 7:00PM.

    Volunteers must be 17 years of age or older.

    Please contact Maria Tofts at 954-488-1369 or maria.tofts@uss.salvationarmy.org, for more info.
