Make a meaningful impact by helping to provide breakfast, lunch, or dinner to homeless and at-risk youth at our Youth Resource Center. Whether you’re a group of 3-10 volunteers, this is a heartwarming way to give back to your community and offer nourishment to those in need.

Here’s how you can help:

  • Choose to serve breakfast, lunch, or dinner:
    • Breakfast: Arrive at 7:30 AM, serve at 8:30 AM, finish at 9:30 AM.
    • Lunch: Arrive at 12:00 PM, serve at 1:00 PM, finish at 2:00 PM.
    • Dinner: Arrive at 5:00 PM, serve at 6:00 PM, finish at 7:00 PM.

Volunteers can prepare their own food either in our kitchen or bring pre-made dishes from home. If you’d prefer, you can also pick up food from your favorite restaurant! We’re happy to provide ingredients if needed.

After the meal, you’ll help with light cleanup, but the true reward will be the smiles and gratitude from the youth you’re supporting. Your help in preparing and serving a meal gives them hope, stability, and care during a difficult time in their lives.

We really need your help to feed our homeless youth and ensure no one goes hungry. Whether it's breakfast, lunch, or dinner, your time and effort will make a lasting difference!
