Meal Volunteers

Small groups and individuals can bring and serve a meal at First Light! Volunteers can sign up to provide breakfast, lunch, or dinner. We have a fully functional commercial kitchen with cookware, cooking utensils, and paper products. The number of servers needed varies depending on the meal, but generally a group of 3-6 people is ideal for breakfast and dinner, and 1-3 for lunch.

For more specific information about providing and serving a meal at First Light, view our Meal Volunteer Handbook below.

The guests we serve are in crisis, whether from the trauma of finding themselves homeless or feeling alone, afraid, or without hope. Please take a moment to fill out this form to begin the process. If there are current openings that you may qualify for, someone will be in touch with you as soon as possible. Thank you so much for your interest in volunteering at First Light!

For more details about any of these volunteer opportunities, please contact Camilla at 205-323-4277 or
