Celebrate Thanksgiving dinner with our neighbors and help create a welcoming environment filled with love, thankfulness and of course full stomachs. We have a variety of ways people can volunteer including but not limited to serving dinner, greeting guests, running bingo, and breakdown / cleanup to transform the dining room back into our community closet.
Because Thanksgiving dinner is a time when so many people want to give back, each volunteer will work only one dinner shift.
Please join the waitlist if the shift you want has been filled! People's holiday plans change, and volunteer shifts often open up over the month.
Serving volunteers must be at least 16 years old, but other volunteers may be younger; all youth volunteers must be accompanied by an adult.
