Join FareStart in making meals for our community!
For 30 years, FareStart has been providing meals to our community to offset food insecurity and relive hunger. Volunteers help with a variety of tasks to help supplement the large amount of work that goes in to creating between 3,000 – 5,000 meals each day. No kitchen experience required! A great opportunity for hands-on volunteer work and team building. Food is provided!
Volunteer Duties: Volunteers will help prepare meals by completing basic preparation tasks. For example: assembling boxes for meal transportation, stamping meal bags, portioning, cleaning produce and more. FareStart staff will assign tasks based on individual skill and comfort level.
Attire: Volunteers are asked to wear sturdy, closed-toed, non-slip/rubber soled shoes and full-length pants. We also advise volunteers to wear clothes and shoes which can get dirty, we will provide aprons. Long hair must be tied back, and all volunteers must wear a hat or a hairnet (hairnet provided). Please refrain from wearing nail polish.
