Volunteer Opportunities for Summer 2024
Program Dates: June 24 – August 23, 2024
Volunteer Sign Ups ARE OPEN!
Food 4 Kids partners with more than 14 different community-sponsored recreation and education programs across the 8 communities on the lower/outer Cape, from Harwich to Provincetown. Together we distribute free lunches and snacks to 500+ children each summer weekday while school is out. We make, pack and deliver these meals with a very small paid staff and the generous efforts of volunteers like you. Come join the community!
Our Base Of Operation:
The Church of the Holy Spirit
204 Monument Road
Orleans, MA 02653
We hope you will sign up to help with:
7:30 - 9:30 AM MEAL PREPARATION: Work in the kitchen helping to prepare meals and snacks under the supervision of the Kitchen Manager. This is a fairly fast-paced, production line making 1,000 lunches!
9:30 - 10:45 AM PACKING LINE: Work in assembly line fashion to pack lunch bags and load them into coolers. Consider driving or dump runs too if you are able!
11 AM - 12:30 PM FOOD PREPARATION: Work in the kitchen helping prepare for the following day under the supervision of the Kitchen Manager. A more relaxed pace compared to the early food preparation, tasks may include cooking, washing/cutting fresh fruit, dividing bulk packs into single-serve, breaking down boxes, etc.
DELIVER MEALS: Starting as early as 10:00 am, pick up and deliver coolers full of meals and bags of snacks to our sites. Consistency is key here, so we highly encourage you to volunteer to drive for a whole week. Destinations include Harwich, Brewster, Eastham, Wellfleet, Truro, and Provincetown. In some cases we need more than 1 driver for one location.
DAILY DUMP RUN for recyclables any time after 10:00 am.
