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.
