Our Volunteers
We have a small staff of full-time and part-time employees who manage the kitchen, but our volunteers are the true heroes of our operation.
Every week, we have around 100 volunteers reliably show up to help the program run smoothly.
What to Expect
Our volunteers pick up and drop off food donations, plate food in the kitchen, make sandwiches, portion out snack items, check guests in, hand out food, and plenty more.
How We Fight Hunger
600+ Pantry Bags
given out every week.
Over 500 Meals
served daily.
100% of What We Do

The Growing Demand
We aim to serve anyone and everyone who comes to us for food, but the number of people we serve each day has increased dramatically since 2022 due to a number of factors changing in the city.
We’ve seen no sign of these numbers slowing down, and we’re committed to continuing the growth and development of our program to more fully meet the needs of our guests and neighbors.
