Short Term Volunteer Positions (<3 months)
Kitchen Volunteer – Breakfast Shift
Do you thrive in an upbeat, fun, active environment? Many of our members come here specifically for our meals, and our kitchen volunteers are crucial to keeping our kitchen running. Volunteers in the Kitchen get to work side-by-side with staff to prepare meals, as well as interact directly with members while serving meals.
Shifts are set times:
- Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday: 8am-10am
Betsy’s Cupboard Volunteer
Volunteers in Betsy’s Cupboard help assemble pre-made food bags. Volunteers assemble 10-15 pound bags for members who have access to a Kitchen and members who would prefer more snacks and meals that don’t require Kitchen access. A great position for volunteers who want to help supply members with an essential resource and help combat food insecurity. In the case that the Cupboard is low on food, you may be asked to sort donations which is a similar concept.
