    Description

    Looking for a meaningful way to give back this holiday season?

    Come help us serve warm meals – and warm hearts – at St. Francis Seraph Ministries.

    Each December, hundreds of our neighbors experiencing homelessness and poverty rely on our Dining Room for a hot breakfast or dinner, a safe place to rest, and a sense of community. We cannot do this without compassionate volunteers who are willing to share kindness during the busiest time of year.

    What Volunteers Do

    As a Dining Room Volunteer, you will:

    • Serve hot meals with dignity and a smile
    • Help plate food, pour drinks, and assist at the serving line
    • Welcome guests and create a warm, festive atmosphere
    • Bus tables and help with light kitchen cleanup
    • Be a caring presence to those who may feel most alone during the holidays

    No experience needed — just a heart to serve.

    December Volunteer Shifts

    We have multiple breakfast and dinner shifts available throughout December, including opportunities close to Christmas.

    Bring a friend, family member, or co-worker and make it part of your holiday tradition!

    Why Your Help Matters

    For many of our guests, the Dining Room is the only place they’ll receive a hot meal, friendly conversation, and a moment of peace during the holiday season.

    Your service makes the holidays brighter for someone who needs it most.

    Perfect For

    • Individuals
    • Families (ages 10+ with adult)
    • Church groups
    • Work teams
    • Anyone wanting to make a difference this holiday season
