Holiday Volunteer Opportunity: Serve a Meal, Share Joy

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.
