    Make a Dinner Date: Cook a Meal for Kiddos at the Nursery!

    Looking for a service opportunity for your corporate team, friends group, sports club et al.? Cook for Kids is for you! By volunteering at the Nursery, you become part of a 40-year legacy of strengthening families in our shared community. Your commitment helps ensure our services remain free and accessible to every family that needs them.

    Individuals and groups of up to six volunteers cook on site and serve a meal + a snack to the children at the Crisis Nursery.

    We find a fun recipe and provide the food for a meal and a snack. All you need to do is arrive at the scheduled time and cook.

    Volunteers must be 12 years of age or older. Volunteers who are 17 and under must be accompanied by an adult age 21 or older.
