Want to play a key role in getting nutritious meals to seniors and people with disabilities in our community? Volunteering at the Kitchen of Opportunities is a great way to help! The Meals on Wheels Kitchen of Opportunities is the first kitchen dedicated to providing meals to Twin Cities Meals on Wheels programs and is located in south Minneapolis. Volunteers are needed to help with tasks such as wrapping bread rolls, chopping vegetables, scooping cookie dough, and assembling meals for daily delivery. Volunteers play a key role in enabling the kitchen to produce up to 1,500 meals per day for people in need. Kitchen shifts are available 8a.m. - 4p.m. Monday through Friday, and up to five people can volunteer during a 2-hour shift. We use a website called Volunteer Hub that allows our kitchen volunteers to self-manage their own schedule . Please follow this link - https://openarmsmn.volunteerhub.com to get started. It will ask you to create an account as a first time user, then you can sign up for whichever shifts you’d like. It also allows you to log in at any time to cancel/reschedule shifts. We partner with Open Arms of Minnesota (OAM) in the Kitchen of Opportunities. They staff the kitchen and manage all on-site kitchen volunteers. If you have any questions about VolunteerHub, signing up for a shift, or what to expect, please contact OAM at volunteer@openarmsmn.org .
