 Our cooks are the heart of the kitchen! Each week, we need one volunteer to take charge of prepping, cooking, portioning, and cleaning up after the meal is made. It’s a 3–4 hour commitment, typically on Monday evenings. If you love cooking and serving others, this is a perfect fit! 

 Help us get meals into the hands of those who need them most. Deliveries happen Tuesday afternoons. Drivers meet at the City Mission kitchen, where they’ll help bag meals and include our “In the Word This Week” inserts. Each driver is then paired with a local meal runner to complete a set delivery route. You’ll be part of something meaningful, right at the street level. 

Love a good grocery run? Our weekly shopper receives a meal plan and grocery list in advance and visits multiple vendors to gather all ingredients needed for the upcoming meal. If you’re organized and enjoy checking off lists, we’d love to have you help fuel our mission—literally!

 A little behind-the-scenes help goes a long way. This volunteer role includes printing and organizing labels and inserts for the weekly meals. Once printed, the labels are affixed to the to-go containers and delivery bags. It’s a detail-oriented role that makes a big difference in keeping everything running smoothly.
