Be the change: Cook for a mobile soup kitchen that serves homeless neighbors in Berkeley

It's incredibly rewarding to make a tangible difference in someone's life...and knowing that you have provided a delicious, nutritious, homemade meal is an amazing feeling! Are you ready to join the cook team?

Our cooks prepare hearty, nutritious soup in their own kitchen - or in your own organization's kitchen. Other volunteers then distribute the hot soup, along with bread and survival supplies *directly* to our unhoused neighbors in Berkeley. We serve around 80 people each time we go out, every Sunday and Thursday evening.

As a cook for this vulnerable population, you must commit to understanding and using safe food handling guidelines. We can provide resources and recipes. Cook as often as it fits into your schedule, from weekly to just a few times a year.

Consider The Homeless! provides the large pot and spoon, insulated servers, and an assortment of cooking spices. (Some of our cooks prefer to use their own cooking equipment - that' fine, too). Most of our cooks also donate the ingredients they use, but CTH! can reimburse your expenses if that would present a hardship.
