Volunteer Opportunity Details:
| Last updated on September 15, 2009 |
Groups or individuals are needed to prepare and bring in (and serve, if desired) a NOONTIME meal at the Daystation, the COTS drop-in center for adults, which is open 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Kitchen space is limited to 3-5 people, so it's best if meal prep is at least partially completed off premises. Plan on feeding up to 50 people.
The only request is that meals are healthy and well-balanced. Soups, casseroles, etc. are typical fare, but some people really go all out and serve roasts, potatoes and gravy, vegetables, etc. Fruit or a low-sugar dessert is welcome as well. We try to stay away from sweets and pastries because a lot of folks are diabetic.
PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU MUST BE AT LEAST 18 YEARS OLD to be in the COTS Daystation. Children are welcome to accompany parents when delivering meals, but they are not permitted to remain in the Daystation during meal prep or serving. Thanks in advance for your understanding regarding this requirement.
