Welcome Friends is open to students, age 16+ looking for community service hours to deep clean kitchens regularly. We need assistance at least once a month to clean refrigerators, stoves, ovens, floors, as well as stock panty items on shelves while the guests are getting their meals. This does not need to be done every week, so anyone who can help out even just once, can apply for the service.
Must be vaccinated for COVID and be able to provide proof. Email VOLUNTEER@WELCOMEFRIENDSSOUPKITCHEN.COM for an volunteer application.

For over 30 years, our outstanding volunteers have addressed hunger in the Greater Port Jefferson and surrounding communities. Our soup kitchens have dynamic relationships with individual supporters, local food markets, farm stands, religious institutions, community leaders and local government. Welcome Friends strives to ensure that our guests need not fear the loss of meals. We create a sense of community for neighbors affected by hunger and poverty by serving them with dignity and respect in a safe, hospitable environment.
Welcome Friends provides hot, nutritious meals four days a week in the Greater Port Jefferson community. We typically serve between 50 to 70 guests each night (3,000+ annually!). We are a 100% volunteer staffed organization, so every donation goes directly to serving our neighbors in need.
