RMH Weekly Meal Server

At our 5 Minnesota locations, we keep families close to the care they need.

Volunteers are the Heart of the House - register for orientation here: https://vhub.at/IndividualApp

Each day, we provide breakfast, lunch, and dinner options for RMH families at all five of our locations. At RMH-Oak Street, meal server volunteers support this effort by serving meals to families. Our meal team cares for all meal planning and preparations, and volunteers serve the meal to families as they come through for lunch or dinner (no cooking skills required!). Volunteers may also be asked to assist with cleaning up after the meal and/or packaging leftovers into individual grab-and-go meals. A typical shift could involve:

• Assisting with final set up preparations before serving (placing food in warmers, setting out necessary utensils, etc.)
• Welcoming and serving families meals as they come through the serving line for lunch or dinner
• Ensuring food safety practices are met, including hand washing and using gloves
• Understanding menu items and ingredient lists
• Packing leftovers into individual grab-and-go containers
• Cleaning up the serving area after mealtime is over
• If a Cooks for Kids meal group is signed up to sponsor the meal, the meal server may be asked to assist with other aspects of the meal program

Typical Hours and Commitment

Meal servers commit to one weekly or bi-weekly shift for lunch or dinner. We serve meals seven days a week, 365 days a year. Typical shifts are 11am-2pm for lunches and 4pm-7pm for dinners. We ask for a minimum commitment of one full semester or 50 hours.
