This opportunity invites individuals and small community groups to volunteer at the Pamela Atkinson Resource Center, operated by The Road Home. Volunteers will help with meal prep and service for up to 300 men, who are experiencing homelessness. Our kitchen facility can accommodate 6 volunteers at a time with plenty of tasks to keep everyone busy. Listed below is an overview of our program and helpful tips to prepare you for this engaging service opportunity.

Meal Service Tasks

1. Please arrive on time to ensure we are able to serve meals on time
2. Serving: Meal line service (place entrée on the clients’ plates)
3. Stocking: Replenish utensils, plates, bowls and cups as needed
4. Dishes: Perform routine dishwashing procedures (load and unload dishwasher, put away and restock clean dishes and utensils)
5. Clean-up: Breakdown assigned kitchen areas (clean and sanitize countertops & prep stations, empty garbage and recycling bins)

Meal Service Guidelines

1. Meal volunteers must be at least 12 years old to be in the kitchen
2. To ensure the privacy of the people we serve, photos/videos with shelter guests are not permitted at any time. Please reach out for specific photo guidelines.
3. Appropriate kitchen attire recommended. For safety, closed toe shoes are considered appropriate footwear in the kitchen.

Cancellations: If you need to cancel your shift, please do so at least 24 hours in advance.
