Volunteers at our Flatbush central kitchen help prepare food by performing tasks such as peeling potatoes and chopping vegetables. Additionally, volunteers at our sites may assist in serving dinner, performing inventory for our food pantry, bagging pantry items up, and any other miscellaneous task. Please note that we attempt to match each volunteer based on their abilities, but we sometimes require tasks other than serving clients in order to operate our network of kitchens.
Volunteers must be at least 12 years of age, and they must be with an adult over 18. For teenage volunteers without an adult, a parent or guardian must complete a volunteer form for the child. We reserve the right to not have young children volunteer if parents are unable to control children around clients.
Volunteer hours span from 8:00am to 9:00pm Sunday - Thursday. Volunteers are needed for pantry distribution on Thursdays from 8:00am - 11:00am.
We ideally want volunteers to be available for at least 90 minutes.
This is a flexible activity that can be completed whenever you have enough free time.
